Photographer Anna Liminowicz captures tender moments between a lesbian couple and their children. Her pictures in this series, Between the Blocks, have a deep depth of field. This would have been achieved by closing down on the aperture. To make up for the loss of light, she would have to slow down her shutter speed in order to let more light in. This would allow for the photos to be exposed without any under or over exposing. Most of the pictures in this series are in doors, which would decrease her access to light. Therefore, she would have to increase her ISO, maybe to ISO 800 or higher.
In this series, Anna Liminowickz is making the statement that same-sex parents are no different than heterosexual parents. She captures loving moments in the couples's every day lives. These intimate moments highlight the bonds the couple has with their children. She has immersed herself in their home and as a result has been able to create these heart warming photographs.
I appreciate this series because it humanizes same-sex couples. I think what often occurs with same-sex couples, especially lesbian couples, is that they become fetishized. Rarely are they ever shown as ordinary people. It is nice to see a same-sex couple portrayed in a positive manner.
