And maybe, He can achieve atonement here. • He understands to have faith hence not to lose his way or lose himself.

Content & Concepts • A Search for answers • Emotions: Guilt, Fear, Remorse, Isolated • Lost and disposed • Who to confide in? • Alcohol and drugs not a solution • Lack of courage or trust in counselling • Representations • The title of the project is presented in the first photo; • In the third picture we used "Mental Health" text to indicate one of the character's possibility of healing himself. • We aimed for a depressing environment, rain, the use of colour black in the original photos too for a better contrast

Problems Encountered • Churches are only opened for small period of time to facilitate church service • Consent to photograph in a church • Group members having different timetables • Weather conditions as shots were taken outdoors
Evaluation • When taking photographs in a public place to take in account of consent implications • Find a location that is middle ground for all group members • Remember that weather will dictate the tone of photograph
