Description

In The Power of Choice, award-winning photographer Julian Kingma turns his camera on those who choose assisted dying, and those who help them on their final journey. These intimate portraits invite us to ask, perhaps for the first time, what constitutes a good death

'Mute and frozen witnesses, we watched Death take this strong man my father and shake him out until he was nothing.'

Andrew Denton

'They choose voluntary assisted dying because they want a good death and not a bad death. Because, dying, they want an end to their suffering, not its indefinite continuation and worsening.'

Richard Flanagan
