We need more content showing:
– Conceptual Imagery
Many aspects of mental health are not easily depicted, this is an opportunity for contributors to be creative and supply more artistic or conceptual content.
– Model released media
Our clients increasingly request images and video that do not look too polished or staged. Content that show patients, healthcare professionals etc. in realistic settings.
– Care, therapy and medicine
Images that show the medication, medical care and therapeutic services being used by those with mental health conditions. We also require more brain scan imagery, especially PET scans.
