Anna Ogier Bloome was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has a Masters degree in photography and currently lives in New York City.
The three pictures capture the sometimes monotonous side of mother hood. The first picture captures the mother feeding her child while trying to use the bathroom. The second photo shows an exhausted mother still with child. The third photo includes the mothers breast. While color and light all play an important role in these portraits the subject matter dominates.
These portraits stuck out for me because they open a dialogue about female sexuality and how it can collide with motherhood. The artist puts a glaring light on breast feeding which in many cases has somehow become taboo in society because of the relationship between breasts and sexual exposure.
