There has been a stigma around black men and mental health and we have to break it by being open about our experiences, says Benji Reid, a Manchester-based photographer living with depression and post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.

Reid captured a powerful shot of himself as an astronaut, tethered to his daughter while she sat playing on her phone, to convey the strength of their father-daughter relationship and how she is a pillar of stability and comfort.

Both of them are engaged in acts of escapism she through her phone, and he as a broken astronaut floating up into the air. Hes tethered to her, and the simple, comforting fact of her presence keeps him in the real world.

After a particularly difficult period for his mental health, Reid said he created this image as a love note to his daughter for being there in his time of need. Its also a visual representation of how supportive relationships can be lifesaving.
