England - London - Newborn baby carried by hospital midwife

A newborn baby boy is carried away from his mother immediately after she has given birth to the child in the delivery ward at Kings College Hospital, Camberwell, London. Handling the crying and twisting infant with only one hand, the lady health professional takes it to a warm towel and then to some weighing scales where the baby is checked and cleaned then returned to the mum who is still on the birthing bed. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes.
