Nicola came over to my studio for another post mastectomy photo shoot recently. I have been photographing her journey with breast cancer prior to her mastectomy which, in a way, has formed a part of my own journey. I must say that I admire Nicola's resilience and strength, I have no experience of what she is going through or what happen's behind her closed doors but every time I see her she is wearing a smile. When she speaks about her situation (for want of a better phrase) I hear courage and determination, I see a women who will not let this define of defeat her. Nicola is definitely an inspirational women!!!

With this in mind I based her shoot on the images I came across in the Huffington Post (October 2017) titled 'Women Bare Mastectomy Scars In Empowering Photos To Raise Breast Cancer Awareness. 'We are still sexy and beautiful.' ' I am unable to share her pictures here so you'll have to trust me when I say that her spirit truly shone during her shoot.
