    How We Turned Real Mental Health Stories Into Art

    What does mental illness really look like? In this episode, we go behind the scenes of UNMASKED, a powerful mental health photography exhibition created to challenge perceptions and start meaningful conversations. Host Jordan Egerton is joined by photographer Justin Garner to discuss how the project came to life, the real stories behind the portraits, and why photography can be such a powerful tool for raising awareness of mental health. We explore: * The inspiration behind the UNMASKED exhibition * The process of photographing people with lived experience * The hidden reality of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, OCD and other mental health challenges * Why so many struggles remain invisible * The importance of empathy, vulnerability and open conversations * How storytelling through photography can reduce stigma Whether you're passionate about mental health, photography, personal growth, or simply want to better understand the people around you, this conversation will leave you seeing things differently. 🎟️ UNMASKED – Mental Health Photography Exhibition Join us in Manchester this September for an immersive exhibition featuring powerful photography, real stories, and a live audience Q&A.
