Self Portrait as Hannah, Samuel’s Mother, Part of Biblical Women Series 2014 ©
I photograph women, Biblical women, to be precise. For me, a woman is the essence of existence, possessing the beauty of procreation, maternity and femininity. In my Women of the Bible book, I shed new light on religious photography, capturing powerful Biblical women in the very places they once lived. The staged scenes are inspired by art of the Renaissance, timeless myths, and classical literature.”
