Parkinson's Faces Project (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789606582691)

The Parkinson's Faces Project showcases captivating black-and-white portraits of individuals who have bravely faced a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. These portraits capture a range of time, from just one year to as long as twenty years after the diagnosis. The youngest participant was in his early 20s when he received the diagnosis. These photographs offer a glimpse into the subjects' personal histories, the duration of their diagnoses, and even feature some uplifting quotes. Inspired by a black-and-white portrait of his close friend and caregiver, Alexandra, Nikolas Koukoulakis founded the Parkinson's Faces Project. Nikolas, who personally experiences Parkinson's, expressed his inspiration to capture the essence of his friends with Parkinson's disease through powerful black-and-white portraits. Despite his own struggle with the disease, he was determined to revive his passion for photography.
