Victorian Mothers Hid Themselves in Their Babies’ Photos

SLIDES - 1/5

BB13RbeC.img?h=450&w=799&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=

It’s taken for granted nowadays that mothers can photograph their little darlings anytime they like. Capturing every sweet, mischievous expression that crosses a child’s face is made easy by the smartphone camera always within reach. This is, of course, a recent development in motherhood.

Consider instead the hidden mothers of 19th-century photographic-portrait studios, when long exposure times meant moms had to find a way to keep their little ones sitting still long enough to be seen, while also fading into the background themselves.

Because 30-second exposure times and squirming children don’t mix very well, portrait studios often employed women who would help the young subjects stay immobile—while attempting to remain invisible—when mothers weren’t holding their children themselves.

In the resulting images, children float uncannily within textiles that hide a human form, phantom limbs appear with no bodily attachment, and mothers hide their face under weirdly placed curtains or even directly behind their baby. Nearly 200 years before the selfie, mothers were perfecting the selfless.

I'm trying to get back into photography again. Subscribed to a monthly photo magazine through work so that's a good start and I'm already trying out some of the ideas in the first issue I've got.

Focusing a lot on editing of photos in this issue and I saw a tutorial on how to make a glitch effect on photos so using a photo of Taylor Swift ;) I came up with this...

Needs some tweaks as the bits at the top aren't so good but happy with it for a first go!

Funny looking at one of the photo's (below) with a hand visible, if anybody came across that photo and did not know that it was a mother behind the baby in a black gown whatever and holding the baby still they would put that down as an unexplained spooky photo with a hand appearing. xD

Kids today will never know what it was like to wait a week for your Kodak film to be processed only to find out half of them were either out of focus or as blurry as fuck...

Ha - I used to remember going on family holidays and waiting for the pictures back! There's always more blurry ones than not and there's always the ridiculously bad close-ups or bad portraits. Or ones where the finger just got in shot and it's made it blurry as well xD

Thinking of doing a 30 day photography challenge to keep my creativity up during this lockdown.

Started a new Insta recently just for my photos so might do it on there.

The cat seems to be a good enough subject...

You might want to check out 500px. It's basically the same photo sharing concept as Instagram, but solely for photographers (all levels, from the very beginners to pros with amazing portfolios), so you don't get stupid influencers, advertisers and whatnot. They also run numerous photography challenges and quests regularly. If you wish, you can also license your photos with them and sell them that way.

Just ordered an ultra-wide angle lens, Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX II. Got it on a very good offer, and since I don't have an ultra-wide yet, this has come at just the right time...

Can’t wait to see what you produce with it! Been wanting a wide angle lens of my own for a while too.

Cheers! I have an 18mm on my Sony camera and have had quite a few other wide angle ones throughout the years, but never anything below 15mm, so I'm quite excited! :D will hopefully put it to good use when I'm in a position to shoot landscapes again...

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Love your work, those look really good. I'm curious, what kind of technique is that?

Thanks nudge :)

Regarding this technique...

In general, it is not too complicated but some steps may be tiring, especially peel off the paper, a small mistake

and the whole work fails.

That's very interesting, never knew something like that exists. Kind of tempted to try it myself, hehe.

Try to do it :)

But the most important, image must be laser printed + upside down (mirror effect)

I hope you understood my complicated explanation :D

 

And prepare:

- a piece of wood (possible with other materials but I am sure that wood is most appropriate)

- wood glue (mix with water)

- colorless varnish

- and a lot of patience xD

If you will need any advice, feel free to ask me.

Good luck!
