Portfolio / Maternity

Maternity,
as art.

An editorial study of the body in transformation—sculptural, instinctive and entirely personal.

Pregnant woman seated in a lifesaver ring on coastal rocks

Volume I

The woman remains
at the centre.

Not a record of pregnancy alone, but a portrait of identity in motion. Each commission is shaped through wardrobe, landscape, light and the particular presence of the woman before the lens.
