Gabriela Guganovic is a photographer from Hungary. She currently lives and works in Chicago. While her portfolio of work encompasses more than just portraiture, her most inspiring project is her “Portrait of a Woman as a Mother” series. This series looks at the struggle between individuality and motherhood. Gabriela chose to photograph these women alone with their children in order to depict this inner conflict. As a mother, I can relate to these images and am drawn to the story of absolute strength that it takes to be a women in the social role of mother.

Berta Vicente is a young photographer from Barcelona. The is a gentle soulful quality to her images. Her subjects are often close friends and family, as she believes that the personal relationship between photographer and subject is a requirement of a successful image. This concept is apparent in her images and is what I find most appealing about her work.

Paul Apal’kin is a Russian photographer whose work embodies a dream-like feminine quality. His use of light really captivates his audience, allowing for soft feminine lines. His backgrounds are simple allowing the subject to tell the story.
