100 Stories of people living with Dementia – Portrait Photography

The 100 stories project engages the Ballarat community in supporting the estimated 9000 residents living with dementia – to reduce the social isolation and loneliness they experience.

9000 souls in Ballarat alone!  The nature of my work takes me from emotional highs to emotional lows and everything in between. Photographing people living with dementia is an emotional roller coaster.  So much love, joy… and tears.

Here are a few images from the session.
