Justin Garner Photography

UNMASKED is a powerful photography exhibition coming to Manchester this September.

A powerful exhibition exploring mental health through photography, personal stories, and creative expression. Discover thought-provoking images that challenge stigma, inspire conversation, and promote understanding.

Created in collaboration with people who have lived experience of mental health challenges, each photograph has been self-directed by the participant to visually represent their own journey. Every image is accompanied by a written explanation, offering a unique insight into the experiences that often remain unseen.

More than an exhibition, UNMASKED is an invitation to pause, reflect, and see beyond the surface.

📍 The Martin Harris Centre, University of Manchester
📅 Thursday 10th September 2026
🕡 6pm – 9:00pm

Tickets will be released to the early access list before they go on general release.

I’m a professional photographer and videographer based in Manchester with over 10 years experience.  My passion for photography has come from my love of nature, its excitement, its beauty, its unpredictability and I enjoy sharing this with others.   
I specialize in the natural world, portraits, and products. I am a qualified youth and community worker and enjoy delivering media workshops and programmes teaching and inspiring young people and adults. I always strive for the best both for myself and the people I work with. 
The whole process of producing images has a positive impact on people’s wellbeing.
