Energy Project

Our last assignment for Staff class is to submit a photo to Photosensitive's Energy Project. Basically, this project focuses on the concept of the term 'energy' and all the things that could define it. I chose to submit a picture from a shoot I did with Kassandra Therrien when she was pregnant with her son Evan. I'm submitting the black and white version.

The love between a mother and child is one of the strongest energies in the world.

The connection begins, of course, while the mother is pregnant and is literally sharing her body’s energy with the child. Everything the mother does– eat, sleep, exercise– directly affects the fetus. Stress can be especially unhealthy during a pregnancy so it’s important for a pregnant woman to stay relaxed. In this picture, Kassandra lays in a warm bath surrounded by mellow candlelight. She rubs her stomach and says that the baby must like the warm water because he is kicking.
