Martin treats an average of two stabbings a day, and two shootings a week. A statistic made even more shocking because most of his patients are still children. His work outside the operating theatre is also making a difference - he spearheads a violence-reduction initiative that's seen the numbers of patients re-admitted to hospital with a stab wound fall from 45 percent to around four percent.

Nick Elphick is a Welsh figurative sculptor based in Llandudno. He works in a variety of mediums and scales, but always with the same aim - not just to replicate the human form, but to express a deeper meaning within his pieces.

Will this master of human form be able to encapsulate something of the multi-faceted surgeon?

Twenty six years ago Araf was working in the family business near Glasgow when his mother suffered a cardiac arrest. Watching the paramedics at work awakened something in him and he decided to pursue a career in the Scottish Ambulance Service, becoming both the first Muslim and the first South Asian paramedic north of the border.

When he is not saving lives on the road, Araf works with local mosques and gurdwaras, equipping them with first-aid knowledge and providing a bridge between communities.

Attempting to capture this remarkable man is photographic artist Brock Elbank. Brock began his career in high-end fashion, but his love of celebrating people who may go unrecognised in society has led him down a very different path. His photographic projects focus on idiosyncratic and unique features, such as scars, birthmarks and skin conditions such as vitiligo.

Brock is fascinated by capturing the private stories behind the public persona, but will he find a way to tell Araf's story in a single photograph?
