THE FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN

The First Day of Autumn is a deeply personal and intimate photographic series that documents the last stages of my step father's battle with cancer whilst experiencing the turbulent journey of IVF that my wife and I were undergoing. Taken over the last 6 months of his life as we all came to terms with the bleak and inevitable outcome of his terminal illness the series explores the conflict of emotions and feelings of death and new life.
