The Veteran Art Project: Powerful Photos Reveal The Real People Behind The Military Uniforms

Each day as we look in the mirror, we think that we know ourselves. We are used to the image that we see before us, but the mirror can show us much more than we ever hoped to see. Sometimes it only shows basic emotions, while at other times it can highlight the deepest crevices of our soul.

If you wish, in the reflection of the mirror you can see your deepest thoughts, masks that you wear every day, your desires, and of course the people that you think about. But are you brave enough to look deep within your soul? Will you dive headlong or shy away from your true image? Those that will muster up the courage necessary will realize it was well worth the effort.

Using Photoshop, photographer Devin Mitchell has created images of uniformed servicemen and women whose mirrored reflections reveal who they are – and vice versae.
