Mums in View [ Part 1 ]

Here is a sample of a few images of one of the beautiful mums in the 'Mums In View' Project. There are five mums featured in the project, each with their own unique story, yet each captured with the same intention - putting mum in front of the camera. When all we have left is images of someone, those images are everything.

Excerpt from 'Mums In View' book -

'People are taking photos at a skyrocketing pace that we have never seen before. I know that I am one of them. I reflect however, that for all my efforts to document my family, there is very little evidence of me in those pictures.....

...... I reflect that other than the standard celebrative milestone photos, my participation in a group photo with friends, or my own selfies, I am always the one behind the camera, never in front of it. There is not much, if anything, that captures me in the day-to-day activities of family life, or that places me in the frame of the moments that I felt were important to capture, or in moments doing the things I love to do. There’s nothing that leaves behind a glimpse of how I interacted with my children, my husband, and the family.......

........I realise that for the most part, I am present in every aspect of my children’s lives, yet the story that our family photos will tell is that I was absent or didn’t want to be in the photo with them. Both of which are untrue.' - Mums In View by Justine Brentnall
