Some of you may have seen Life Before Death last week on The Guardian, and this thought-provoking exhibition so far has proved to be extremely popular for a variety of reasons.

From The Guardian… “This sombre series of portraits taken of people before and after they had died is a challenging and poignant study. The work by German photographer Walter Schels and his partner Beate Lakotta, who recorded interviews with the subjects in their final days, reveals much about dying - and living. Life Before Death is at the Wellcome Collection from April 9-May 18″
