London-based photographer Dave Young recently captured touching portraits of new fathers at Chelsea and Westminister Hospital.
They were taken for a special Father’s Day book by The Book of Everyone, a book-making website that lets you personalize books for any occasion.
The portraits were shot on the nights of 23 to 26 April, and perfectly capture the “awe, worry and relief on the faces of new Dads who have just witnessed the birth of their sons or daughters,” said Steve Hanson, co-founder of the website.
After having their portraits taken, the happy fathers were asked to describe how they felt, as well as pen a message to their newborns.
