Within this body of work, I captured ladies from different backgrounds that have experienced different forms of cancer.
This includes : Emma - Grade 3 Breast cancer, Lucy (aged 19) Hodgekins Lymphoma, Lesley Breast Cancer and Sarah the BRCA II Gene
Within this project, which I have chosen to progress with it further in the future, I aim to show the theme of identity/lack of due to the after effects of cancer. Having spoken to the models above, the common similarity I found was that they mention how others view them as the person that had cancer rather than an actual person that just wants to get back to their usual routine post chemo.
I had hoped to tell their story through my photographs as a way to show that they are regular people that went through something traumatic and refused to give up living for that sense of normalcy again.
