F Cancer

            Photography, Retouching & Digital Art: Gary Bradshaw 
Hair & Makeup: Mish Bratsos

It hurts me to even look at this photo. In it, we had hoped to convey the pain and strength that Cancer causes. The boxing aspect represents the fight and determination required to battle cancer. The tears are to represent the toll doing so takes on our mental health. 

Outside of the obvious physical health problems, cancer is utterly soul destroying. The battle itself is horrendous. At its worst, it can rob sufferers of their lives in the cruellest way possible. It puts the people that love them under enormous pressure as they try to find a strength they didn't know they had to support their loved ones the best way they know how, whilst also feeling completely helpless to do anything of real value to help them.

This shoot was done last year and I dyed the ends of my hair red for the sole purpose of showing anger for this concept in a visual sense. I was and continue to be so incredibly angry - for all of the people that are put in this position through no fault of their own. I am sorry for your pain. So incredibly sorry.

One day at a time.
