December, 2014 -- "You never really know who the person is in the uniforms," says Devin Mitchell,
who spent the past three and a half months visiting veterans in their homes and photographing them
in and out of uniform as they face the mirror. Using PhotoShop, he's fused the two separate images
together to highlight the double identity many veterans feel like they have to straddle. On one side of
the mirror, the subject is a soldier; on the other, they're a person like anyone else.

The series includes images of openly gay and transgendered servicemen, as well as mothers,
young women, and the wounded. The photos are sometimes at odds with the stereotypical notion of
a soldier. "I think many of them want to show the mainstream who they are [underneath the
uniform]," says Mitchell. "Others want their pictures to speak to other veterans, to say, 'Hey, I've
been there too.""
