THE BOOK
/
American photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank, frequent collaborator with the most prestigious international publications, has defined the concept of motherhood by bringing together some of the coolest mothers on the international social scene.
In her latest work, the renowned American photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank set out to explore what modern motherhood means in the 21st century. Pointing her lens at 70 iconic families made up of mothers and children with famous names such as Delfina Figueras, Carolina Herrera, Lauren Santo Domingo, Anne Vyalitsyna, Aerin Lauder and Patti Hansen, Swanson Frank’s beautiful portraits capture the beauty that comes from the emotional bond between a mother and her children.
Their responses, extremely reflective and introspective, are also fun, fascinating and moving.
To complement her photographs, Swanson Frank has come up with a series of questions through which she gets each mother to do an exercise in introspection and share the meaning of motherhood for her. Their responses, extremely reflective and introspective, are also fun, fascinating and moving. Each of these deeply intimate and powerful portraits captivate and inspire readers as they embark on a profound journey reminding them of the power of motherhood and the most selfless kind of love.
