Depression

Support This Project

World renowned photographer and mental health advocate Nigel Barker will be the face and
voice of PROJECT INSPIRE through the photography and semi-scripted documentary of
influential people as they tell their story of how they are impacted by mental health and making
a difference in the community. Nigel will capture their stories through his lens and create
exhibitions around their work and advocacy which will allow other people to share in an
immersive experience and help raise money to fight the stigma associated with mental health
and encourage people to find their own creative ways to participate.

Inspiration: as part of the Inspire pillar of the L.I.F.E. initiative, the secondary goal is to
inspire people to open up about their struggle or to help those who are struggling.
