The Silence Shoot The Silence Shoot
The Silence Shoot
The Silence Shoot started out as a small project in 2011 out of an apartment in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The goal was to bring awareness to individuals who have suffered from bullying, depression, loneliness to the point of suicide attempts. It is important to ensure people they are not alone in this world. The Silence Shoot offers individuals the opportunity to show up as their authentic selves and capture these moments in a photoshoot.

The concept behind these images is to show both individuality, but also unity. Participants are encouraged to dress how they wish, and pose how they wish, to show that being yourself is nothing to be ashamed of, but the images are edited all the same to show the solid stance of each person in what The Silence Shoot stands for.

Red duct tape is used to represent the silencing that bullying condones a person to physically, mentally, and emotionally. It also represents the community that is willing to stand as survivors of bullying or allies to those who have survived. We use red to also symbolize the bloodshed that bullying can cause in an act of violence either on another person, or on one’s self.

The black and white editing of everything besides the red tape is a concept that allows the image to show our oneness in the love we have for those being bullied, and the survivors from said torment.
