For the exhibition, called Seeing MS, nine photographers were paired with nine people with MS - each living with one of the symptoms from a chronic disease which attacks the central nervous system.
Those symptoms can include pain, dizziness, and lack of balance.
"It's been very difficult to explain to people because you can't see my symptoms," said Lyn Petruccelli, who helped create the exhibit.
Her husband and professional photographer, Louis Petruccelli, tried to capture Lyn's dizziness by photographing tall city buildings from the base of those buildings, creating a spinning perspective.
"What I wanted to do is actually put the viewer in that position where the viewer had spun around, fell to the ground, and then all of a sudden looked up," she said.
One picture features burning flowers meant to symbolise the intense pain that Stephen Papadopouls is forced to cope with.
"It's actually quite a sad photo because it represents the pain that I'm in every day and that burning sensation so it's hard to look at it for too long."
Carol Cooke hopes the exhibit will give people a greater understanding of what it's like to live with Multiple Sclerosis.
"I wish I had a dollar for every time someone said to me, 'but you look so good'."
The exhibition launch coincides with World MS Day on Wednesday.
