In terms of spiritual symbolism, mirrors reflect truth. They reflect what is, lack of truthful representation can contribute to a lack of social connection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/d86d0a54-d404-4c6e-a393-281542f4d84f/IMG_8571.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/b1364494-bbdc-4692-9aeb-6fb2199c976f/_DSC7106.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging Chapter 3 The second diptych is of two images which draw the eye to light reflecting on the mask, this reflection is exaggerated because the images are out of focus and my facial features are indistinct. These images allude to the way masks obscure our view and understanding of groups and individuals thereby, rendering meaningful connections more difficult to make. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/c1cab225-5f49-4eb4-83af-f30af8182b02/_DSC7104.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/784d13fb-dda1-496a-8730-a432f4c884e6/_DSC7110.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging Chapter 4 A triptych depicting self-reflection and readying oneself for presentation to the world. In the pictures I gradually emerge from a safe, comforting environment, illustrated by the way I hold almost, hug  myself in the last of the three images. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/ca93facc-cf1f-49c2-805e-583651aad498/IMG_8553.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/e9e9945d-22f0-43a3-87ac-1aa934042c58/_DSC7092.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/1750644968535-9JZVNDMG7XMEE3BSOMDA/_DSC7156.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging Chapter 5. The final chapters of the story are set on the beach, symbolic of the known and the unknown in the first images, I face to the right and my hand is raised as if I am about to remove the mask, there a people all around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/1750644987770-SIUI3BUXHTRQUVU1Q38D/_DSC7180.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging In this image I am alone with my back to the viewer, l look over my shoulder returning the gaze. Although the mask is clearly visible the raised arm in the previous image, my change of position, (facing where the people had previously been) and their disappearance all raise questions about what has just happened? Did I remove the mask, is that why the people have disappeared? Is this what happens when we reveal our genuine selves? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/1750645011055-6WIL41YYCFZWYKE8ZHS0/_DSC7196.jpg Portfolio - Loneliness and Belonging In the final image I remain alone looking out to the formless unfathomable sea my back to the camera, it is unclear whether I am still wearing a mask. https://www.donnalyonsphoto.co.uk/portfolio/project-two-ky966-726am monthly 0.5 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/c705b197-792f-402f-a736-cbea3ba4bf60/Carter-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/95bb066f-21ac-4f9b-b5c6-0b1c76008753/DSC_6584.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/55378677-51fd-426c-bf32-65eac189efdd/DSC_6624-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/90ff4311-1b26-425e-bb11-f4e7e608f797/DSC_6627.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/ee6976e2-9286-4186-a342-6eb709a68151/DSC_6633.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/2bd5a61d-6aed-4ee6-bf7b-48c8aab905ab/DSC_6642-bnw-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/52a8c834-729c-4bab-a0c5-bdd536f22d50/DSC_6686.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/f2c5cd90-75e6-46f3-9544-8b8aa4e0e30a/DSC_6723-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/d9ba0770-d2f4-41cb-bf32-4da53767b1bc/DSC_6724.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/0ff8c455-b803-47e7-96de-d6fce22f66ae/DSC_6738-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/e06ed28d-980d-4931-bcb2-5eb00b242b50/Hugo-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/d015df61-25c0-49c5-b90b-64719a26088e/Nathan-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/29012cd3-00e1-49ee-b0e2-760745bfb687/Phil-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/1b17a871-d093-45ab-958b-e44907144f09/Solati-Shoot0121.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/c0990356-622f-401d-b59a-19b3a31cee71/Solati-Shoot0128.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/0d7b505c-eb5b-48a2-adbc-8cbcc02bf12d/Tess-A3-Print.jpg Portfolio - Beyond the Veil https://www.donnalyonsphoto.co.uk/portfolio/project-one-f5w4d-53e45 monthly 0.5 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/e33f4e6c-1336-4aa8-8c65-c2b523f2c66b/ball.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/b32c0305-b1a4-4525-a506-1b6f28250b21/DSC_1627-edit-4-Sharpened-copy.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/4e6eb50c-2de0-4f18-8665-b36ec048771f/DSC_1719-arnolfini-sharp-edit-6.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/70ca0193-b712-4625-b1a4-6072b2bf9b51/DSC_1736-edit-2-sharpen-copy.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/1d9c25ff-d5cb-40b4-aa4a-2e871cea1c54/DSC_1763-edit-4a-sharpened-copy.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/f7965bc0-aad6-4879-9b37-dc4de8e88250/Hugo.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/e76b2675-aa36-4db0-939e-f43b0db89cd0/orchid.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/42631681-3278-4d7f-874e-6bd13d1e032c/shoulder.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/684f2eb21ece031efc5cfb76/98e06ba6-965c-4835-a60e-4aa5fac34f88/six-thirty.jpg Portfolio - Moments of Comfort
