This is a story of my steps into fatherhood. A carefully considered narrative, structured to reveal the delicate details of pre-labour and the safe arrival of my new-born’s. These images represent a significant and intense point of my life, without drifting towards over sentimentality. As an image maker it felt natural for me to visually interpret and record the unfolding events, they are more than just cold hard facts, they document that most intimate moment in many people’s lives which is seldom revealed or shared. Memories especially details fade and become lost over generations; photography’s strength is to preserve and document that which defines us as a human race.
