Harry & Thomas - A Special Bond

Down Syndrome is typically regarded negatively and the positives of the condition are often overlooked. Children with Down Syndrome are kind, loving, fun, entertaining and a joy to be around. This series of pictures is a brief insight into the personalities of two twin brothers with the syndrome. Sharing this condition has strengthened their bond and their affection for one another. Their mutual support and companionship shines through in these photographs. Initially we had arranged to photograph the boys outside at a sports ground but due to the inclement British weather we were confined indoors. This gave me a chance to witness the boy's unique relationship in their own home environment and comfortable surroundings, providing a more realistic and personal backdrop for the pictures.
