'A Father and Son's Journey: A Photographic Exploration of Grief and Legacy'


A series of photographs that documents the emotional road trip of a father and son as they travel to North Carolina for the funeral of their beloved Uncle Tom. Uncle Tom, a passionate photographer himself, passed away leaving behind a legacy of photography and storytelling through the lens. This series captures the raw and intimate moments of the father and son's journey, as they confront their grief and come to terms with the loss of their uncle, father figure and mentor. The photographs not only document the trip, but also pay homage to Uncle Tom's passion for photography, and the impact he had on the lives of those around him. These photographs are a powerful and moving tribute to the memories and legacies we leave behind.
