In these shots I see strong women who are proud to be mothers. Each of these shots has a unique feel which conveys what I see here. Annie Lebowitz and Awol Erizkuâs maternity photos of Demi Moore and BeyoncĂ© are both beautiful and impactful images.In both portraits they appear to be holding their babies as a sign of secuity and comfort. Lebowitâz portrait seems to show rembrandt with high contrast in the image and it looks as if the light may be a bit diffused.
Awol Erizku’s portrait of Beyonce has a bunch of props compared to Annie Lebowitz photo. I guess the props along with Beyonce’s gesture are a sign of being nurturing and being protective. What really catches my eye is how the silk drapes is over her body especially when it is not covering when holding the baby.
The lighting style in the Demi Moore photo is broad light. Her head is shown in a 3/4 view. the light is falling on the side of the visible ear. and yes, Erizku used a lot of props!
