Introduction and ConceptFor this project I am going to focus on what it is like to live withan illness like M!CF"!Fibromyalgia#

$t the beginning of the project I wanted to produce a series of%ve images that each made the viewer feel similar to symptoms

that su&ers have' but after e(perimenting and taking more testshots I decided to instead tell a story of what su&ers go though#

)he series still containing %ve images and are also images takenwith a infrared converted camera' which makes it easier tochange the overall colour to an almost cyanotype blue *which is

the awareness ribbon colour+# )he images also do not have anyhuman presence and are taken places that I went before Ibecame ill with M#

-hat Is M!CF"!Fibromyalgia

It should be e(plained that there are a number of di&erent names forwhat is an illness of uncertain cause a&ecting many thousands ofpeople# Currently it is estimated that some ./0'000 people in 1ritain area&ected by this illness#

Myalgic ncephalopathy or 2M3 *a term which )he M $ssociation feels

is more appropriate than the original' Myalgic ncephalomyelitis+Chronic Fatigue "yndrome or 2CF"34ost56iral Fatigue "yndrome or 246F"3Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction "yndrome or 2CFID"3

$ll types of people at all ages are a&ected# "evere and debilitatingfatigue' painful muscles and joints' disordered sleep' gastricdisturbances' poor memory and concentration are commonplace# Inmany cases' onset is linked to a viral infection# 7ther triggers mayinclude an operation or an accident' although some people e(perience aslow' insidious onset#

Conclusion

)he hardest part of this project for me was %nding an idea where the type ofphotography you create isnKt chosen for you' but even though his was the hardestthing for me in the end I think it made me produce the work and type ofphotography that I want to produce# -hen looking at the unit I understood that itfocusing on e(perimenting and growing from the e(periments' I believe that Ie(perimented a lot in my project as well as tried to use di&erent mediums*including paint' props *smoke+ and infrared photography+# 7ut of all my projects

so far I took more test shots than with the other projects' I think this helped meget the %nal pictures I wanted but still think that I would have bene%ted fromtaken even more# I think the main photographic choices I used in this project wasto used an infrared converted camera and to mirror the images to make them looksurreal' I think that both of these made my project come together but more sowith the mirroring of the images# I think that I managed my studied good andspread my work out throughout the project but if I was to do anything
