The Depressive Realist

Depressive realism is the proposition that people with depression have a more accurate perception of reality, specifically that they are less affected by the positive illusions of illusory superiority, the illusion of control and optimism bias. It must be understood that this refers specifically to people with borderline or moderate depression — while normal people see things in too positive a light and severely depressed people see things in too negative a light, the "grey" area in between leads to the most accurate perceptions of reality.

  • Aw thanks Issha for complimenting me on my wrath channeling abilities! It was fun working with you. At your disposal for future projects :-)
isshamarie:

Model: Zoe Klimack
Wrath preview.
Me: I have a lot of anger in me. I’m so glad I finally found someone who can channel my wrath!
Zoe: Oh, trust me, I don’t need to channel your wrath; I can channel my own!
And she absolutely more than delivered. Zoe, it is a pleasure shooting you. Look at you! GAH! You are a conceptual artist’s dream.
Technical notes: Demi mola a few feet behind Zoe, set to 8.5. Umbrella to her left, acting as a fill light, set to 7.0 - 8.0.
