Veteran Vision Project: a Humbling Look at Life After the Uniform

To put it lightly, serving in the military is not only a job but also a lifestyle. Like most jobs, you may move on at some point. But for service men and women, this doesn’t just mean a job switch: it involves adapting to civilian life again from an entirely new perspective– which isn’t exactly easy. That’s why Devin Mitchell founded the Veteran Vision Project: a photo documentary series depicting service members along side their civilian lives.

Mitchell and his team (of two veterans) aim to “help veterans heal by providing them with a voice.” By super-imposing two images, Mitchell is able to tell a story in each photo: one of a soldier’s civilian life and personality, and one in uniform as a reminder of the baggage they carry around with them every day.
