p.1 #1 · Warrior Mother (NFSW)

This is part of a series that I'm working on with my mother.

I am photographing my mother, baring her mastectomy scars. She won the battle against breast cancer, but at a terrible cost.

PRH,
Thank you for your kind words.

Morgan,
I will see how a bit more mid tone contrast looks.

Uh. You saw that then. I realized afterwards that c&c possibly was not what you were after.
Apologies if that was the case.

C&C is more than welcome. Even if the subject matter is sensitive, I always look for ways to improve my shooting and processing.

Thank you for posting such wonderful and personal photos. I don't think I'd have had the courage to take them or share them.

Powerful images indeed. A woman exposed, so that we might see her vulnerability as well as her courage and strength. Congratulations to her on beating back cancer.

I really like #1, the expression on her face and the eyes does it for me. I wish I had pick up photography before I lost my mom 5 years ago this exact day. Enjoy each other while you can.

Thank you all for your support. I think my mother is following this thread- she's been impressed with the outpouring of support.
