Dennis Brennan, One in Five Thousand (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2025)

About five years ago, a thirty year old close friend was diagnosed with a Rare Cancer which he is still being treated for it today. Before he commenced chemotherapy treatment, he and his now wife explored IVF for the future. A couple of years ago with their future uncertain they proceeded with the IVF procedure, one egg was used which divided to produce two male foetuses which only occurs 1:5,000. Otto and his brother Enzo are now two lively and healthy identical twins. I captured this image of Otto minutes after waking from his morning nap.
