La mère et l'enfant
On a previous post, I told you about this new series I wanted to start with Alma.
Here are the first test shots.
This is a series about the mother and the child.
Ever since, I gave birth to my son, I am completely fascinated by this bond. I can't put words on this incredible, intense, selfless, unique relationship.
I would like to photograph couples of mother and child whether the child is a baby or an adult. I can still remember how my grand mother was looking at my father: so much love and tenderness; and how happy she was when he was taking her hand.
It probably will not be easy, but I would be really happy if once in a while, I could capture just a glimpse of this relationship.
I knew I wanted to start the series with Alma, but I did not have any idea in mind. It was a rainy, gray day.
The beautiful daughters of Alma are not babies anymore, they are two effervescent, lively little girls who obviously did not want to sit quietly while I would try to find the good light, the good frame and focus my camera.
So it has been challenging, interesting and formative. I loved this photo shoot.
It was our first try, we will do it again soon.

wow the whole project makes me excited! You're such an inspiration! xoxo
un projet magnifique et tu poses un regard sur la vie, tu es vraiment un bonne portraitiste!!
Beautiful.
Ahhh, so lovely... especially the first and fourth shot. The hands reaching out with the little finger puppets, the expression of imaginative wonder on her daughter's face; and in the fourth, that turning of the head to see the shadow puppet on the wall. You captured the essence, here, all right...
