Rare Beauty

Photographer Ceridwen Hughes has created a series of images that recreate everyday scenes that people with rare diseases find themselves in, for example, having surgery, meeting the consultant or having treatment. The juxtaposition is that whilst these settings, by their very nature, are usually sterile, uninviting locations, she has created beauty.

Everyone involved in the photo series is affected by rare disease in some way, whether it is the patient, their family or the medical staff.
