Book: Mother and Child

In her latest book, the author and photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank sets out to explore the meaning of modern motherhood in the 21st century. Showcasing 70 iconic mother-and-child pairs, including those of celebrities such as Delfina Figueras, Carolina Herrera, Lauren Santo Domingo, Anne Vyalitsyna, Aerin Lauder and Patti Hansen, Swanson Frank’s stunning portraits capture the emotional bonds and beauty that shape the powerful relationship between a mother and her child. To complement his work, the author presents a series of questions and answers, through which Swanson Frank addresses each mother, asking them to share their interpretation of what it means to be a mother. Their answers, whilst being extremely thoughtful and introspective, are also amusing, fascinating and moving. Each of these deeply intimate and astonishing portraits will captivate and inspire readers as they embark on this profound journey that reminds us of the power of motherhood and the great gift of love.
