Come celebrate the power of the wild birthing woman in Natalie Lennard's multi award-winning art series, Birth Undisturbed. Explore natural birth through culture and history, from the Queen homebirthing in Buckingham Palace, to Calamity Jane in the Wild West, to the famously controversial, first ever photo depiction of Virgin Mary roaring out Jesus in the stable. Witness a proud blood-splattered Eve, a Muslim family in a British NHS hospital, and the Black Mother of the ocean 2700BC. See birth in a Victorian slum, accidental birth by a Chevrolet, and 70s hippies on a schoolbus!
Enjoy super-close detail of these cinematic photographs all created meticulously on real locations with prosthetics and models (no AI!) captioned with the philosophy of legendary childbirth writers Ina May Gaskin, Michel Odent, Grantly Dick-Read, Sheila Kitzinger, Frederick Leboyer, Janet Balaskas and Monica Sjoo.
Natalie Lennard, also known as Miss Aniela for her Surreal Fashion series, is a globally exhibited fine-art photographer. Deeply seeded from her own motherhood and loss, a candid 6-page introduction is written in her own words, detailing the joy, inspiration and even shattered delusions through the five-year making.
This 54-page book is printed on Blurb’s Premium Lustre paper. A full preview of the book can be viewed on Blurb, where buyers outside the US may also purchase the book with cheaper shipping than Amazon. Full series at www.birthundisturbed.com.
