Joy

The woman in these series of pics was a model for me prior to becoming a mother. She always had such a deep and powerful precence about her. I felt so priviliged to be able to capture these images. There is just so much joy between mother and son.

I am really passionate about running workshops pertaining to images such as these. I have set up a group to promote and feature these workshops.

    There is so much happiness in this image. There is nothing better than seeing mothers together with their new borns. :) The backdrop is great, very different from the “at home” images. Very one with nature.
    Again, a wonderful image.

  • Basia McAuley

    Basia McAuley

    What a stunning and tender moment and what makes this all the more meaningful is that it’s a ‘real mother and child’, not posed, very well done.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Basia, I like all of my pics to look as real as possible. Think this inspires the viewer more.

    This is unique ….it reminds me of what at least in my mind…..... Eve the mother of us all and her first born- beautiful…....I personally would have been pretty lumpy and could not have done such a photo without alot of photoshop lol-

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thankyou. I love the reference to Eve. Think it would be wonderful if we could have a society of pure joy.

    it brings out true feeling in your heart b/w a mother and a child

  • Lisa Defazio

    Lisa Defazio

    Really love this for many reasons – Most of all as it is an open minded view of a mother, she is first of all a woman a real and tangible person, a happy parent – joyous with her cherubic child – a lovely display of contentment, the fact that she is exquisitely beautiful is almost secondary to this image. Congratulations on this tremendous shot.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Lisadee,

    I love to encourage empowerment and feel that the mother in this scene presents this ideal. I truly believe women have so much power but often allow society to take away their joy for life.

  • Karl Denton

    Karl Denton

    Tony, it has been a while but every time I see this image I am just amazed at the beauty of it. Re-fave it every time!

    i get totally lost in the expression in her face…. pure joy and adoration…... what a lovely and powerful combination…. she is oblivious to her surroundings her focus is entirely on and in this special captured moment…....................b

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Hi Butch,

    Whilst I have very little to do with this women she so reached me deeply. This pic is really her true self in my opinion. She wrote the most beautiful email after this shot and the words inspired me almost more than the pic.

    Although I am not a proponent of nudity in photography, this is a marvelous capture mechanically! The lighting is brilliant, and the moment captured is phenomenal!

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks John,

    I take great passion and pride in my nudes. Love aesthetics in all aspects of life and find the lines of the female nude to be very beautiful when presented with humility and grace.

    Best Wishes Tony.

    This is beautiful….it is so natural for a little baby to feel his mothers skin and feel at peace. I love it.

    Absolutely beautiful and heart-warming shot, Tony. A tribute to the beautiful vessel of life we call woman, and the life that her wondrous body gives to the world. LMAO I just know that you didn’t have to worry about capturing the naturalness of a mother’s joy with this shot! Nonetheless, you have captured that moment and natural feeling of that joy flawlessly. I have always loved the natural capture over the posed.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Not sure if I had replied to your comments here. I too love natural shots. I think they emanate an energy that society has precious little of. ie; Freedom from fear of loss. When we view such freedom I beleive it reminds us of who we really are in essence.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks for your comments on my work. I am very passionate about presenting a real and free energy in all my pics. Whilst I beleive that aesthetic beauty is very powerful it is enhanced so much more when the essence energy is allowed the freedom to shine through.
