Special thanks to Joel and Jackie!
Your photoshop skills are so good, and thank you for showing us how you did it! You have some interesting angles there that work well with what you want to show.
These photos are very successful in putting the viewer into the perspective of an individual with a disorder. The narcissism image is the most effective and the simplest it seems. The side to side contrast in the bipolar image of red and green is visually appealing but also conveys the emotional tones of the subject to the viewer.
