I am very perplexed what to rate this.
The photos are beautiful, black and white, which I personally always love.
I wish there was some more description and reasoning for why the photographer decided to take that exact photo.
And the one thing that I found disturbing are the photos of the babies genitalia up close. I am studying in the medical field to become a midwife so those areas of a human body are not repulsive or anything in that way to me. They are natural, but I found this book at a little free library and that made me think. Without an explanation and reasoning why this photo was taken by the photographer, I feel it could have been easily emitted. That way this photo book would be less likely attained by children predators. I’m not saying it is but it could be and that thought made me extremely uncomfortable and made me look at this collection of photos in a different perspective.
Other than that I did enjoy these photos.
