Donald is a veteran who served with The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Donald's experiences helped me understand the mental health issues linked to the traumas of war. Support during Lockdown was limited for so many who desperately required access to mental health services.

Sofia Conti is a Glasgow based award winning Social-Documentary photographer, who began her photographic journey as a mature student in 2017. Sofia recently finalised her studies at Falmouth University where she achieved an MA Photography degree with Distinction. Collaboration for Sofia is an extremely important part of the work produced especially when exploring social inequalities within various communities. Sofia’s intention is to ethically represent communities that have a distorted view imposed upon them. Empowering each participant to tell their story that will insight change.
