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, along with essays from Andrew Denton and Richard Flanagan, invite us to ask, perhaps for the first time, what makes 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
