I recently finished my final work in my visual expression class, it was a free project and i chose to do mine on Obsessive-compulsive disorder, also known as OCD, for this project I did a couple of photoshoot with my friends, associating them with one of those disorder, i tried to fit the disorder with the model’s personality. for each disorder that i chose, i did a third-person view and a “over-the shoulder” view to give a perspective from the person himself, here are the shots.
