Pitch Two – Stroke patients

STROKE PATIENTS

Document the effect a stroke has on someone. Speak to them about what there life was like before and how the stroke has changed the way they live. Aim to get six stories and powerful portraits of people who have suffered a stroke. I could find people through the Leeds Stroke Association or people at home in the Lake District through a stroke specialist nurse. The topic is sensitive and their could be ethical issues.

Type of photojournalism:

  • Documentary portraiture

Primary sources

  • Stroke specialist nurse
  • Stroke association, Carolyn Dunwell – leeds.ias@stroke.org.uk
  • People who have had a stroke
