Theme: Women’s Experience of Pregnancy and Birth
Cassie Fox balances a head in the clouds with a solid and earthy approach to photography. She loves working in both color and black and white, letting the mood of each image determine the end result. As a homebirthing mother herself, she feels privileged to document other women’s birth days and never leaves with anything less than a full heart and a profound appreciation. As Cassie says, “I write and I shoot. My words are the composer and my photos the choir. Sometimes they are quiet and sometimes they are loud, but they are always singing something.” You can find more of Cassie’s work at www.cassiefox.net
