The Pain Monster is an intimate portrait of the struggle Samuel Booth has faced living with chronic pain due to a traumatic brain injury. For Booth, as with many who have suffered similar injuries, this agony is a relentless monster that lurks within, hidden yet ever-present. In the form of a photograph, by using camera movements and prolonged time exposures, he has found a way to confront this pain and give it a face. This project is a hope of solace and inspiration to all who struggle with physical and mental pain.
