About Involvement Through Photography - An OCD-UK Project
OCD-UK are launching a photographic fair for people affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
We want to get children and adults with OCD exploring life a little differently to help them see the beauty of life through the focus of a camera lens, and to challenge the feelings and thoughts of pain and despair that this insidious illness often makes us feel on a daily basis.
We want everyone with OCD to get involved, photographer or not, if you have access to a camera then get involved, you may surprise yourself! Do you love animals or architecture maybe, enjoy being outdoors and like taking photos? Well, now’s your chance to unleash your creativity, snap what you love and give us all the benefit of your talents. With varying themes each quarter in addition to the theme of our ever-changing seasons now that everything is bursting into life and colour, we are sure we will be seeing some wonderful photographs from you as you leave the focus of your OCD to one side for a few minutes as you focus on your creativity.
Hopefully it will also be an opportunity for you to participate in something that may help you refocus on the life around you rather than the daily struggle for life inside your head.
This is not a competition as such as our aim is for the OCD community to get involved for themselves, rather than to feel they must achieve specific standards of competition photography. Some of your photos will be displayed in our quarterly magazines and on our website for everyone to see and enjoy, but don't worry if you haven’t got the chance right now to participate, you will have ample opportunity throughout the year. We also hope to gallery showcase some, or all of the photos in the future.
We are not necessarily looking for fantastic photographic technical skills – all pictures will be welcome, we want people of all photography abilities to get snapping away, this project is all about being involved and taking part.
Good luck everyone,
The OCD-UK Team.
