Julian Kingma's photo essay book, The Power of Choice, shows the vulnerable, personal and surprisingly beautiful journey of terminally ill people, their carers and navigators as they make the decision to utilise voluntary assisted dying (VAD).

But this project, undertaken with Andrew Denton's organisation, Go Gently, is just one of many moments where death has touched Julian's life.  

Guest: Julian Kingma, photographer and author of The Power of Choice
