MARTA by Andrzej Dragan

“Marta applied to a modelling agency and was rejected. The photograph is interesting - not because of the fright it triggers, but because of a collision of two Marta’s. Thankfully Marta has now undergone treatment for her anorexia and is progressing well.”

Andrzej Dragan was born in 1978 and has studied in Warsaw, Amsterdam, Oxford and Lisbon. You can see more of his photographs on his website

    I'm Addy; 29, a little crazy, a little kinky, and I suffer from bipolar type 1, depression and self harm. They are illnesses I suffer from and are not a reflection of my personality. I'm tired of the stigma surrounding mental health, it's time we gave it a damn good spanking. This is my journey with depression.
