CURL

CURL - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Carpe Lucem / 01.08.2025 13:32

This picture is one of my all time favourites. It is showing one of the rare moments in the interaction between model and photographer that I try to capture in my shootings.

Carrying

Carrying - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf André Leischner / 14.05.2025 16:15

The "Carrying" series I created from August 2024 to April 2025, spanning the entire period of pregnancy, and brings together photographic positions on pregnant physicality – raw, calm, and radically visible. In each shot, pregnancy reveals itself not as an idealized cliché, but as a real, physically experienced, intimate, and socially shaped transformation.

The body in these images carries – visibly and invisibly – weight, expectation, responsibility, history, and the future. It carries not only new life, but also signs of power, vulnerability, control, and self-empowerment. The conscious decision for analog black-and-white photography creates a timeless space in which the supposedly private becomes public. The poses range from upright confrontation to quiet inwardness – always with a focus on dignity and self-determination.

The series does not invite us to contemplate "motherhood," but rather to engage with the pregnant body as a political, aesthetic, and emotional site.
