Daughters

Beschreibung

Twelve years ago Norwegian photographer Margaret de Lange was at home looking after her two young daughters. She soon picked up her camera and began to photograph what came as a natural subject matter to her - her daughters. Since then it has developed into a beautiful and highly regarded photographic series. Capturing them in carefree imaginary days of play in the garden, to voyages of discovery in local rivers and streams, she also brings us moments of agression and tension, dressing up as wild fantastic creatures in animal furs. The photographs have only been exhibited since 2007, as Margaret explains, "I wanted to wait until the girls were old enough to decide for themselves whether to exhibit or not. In fact they have been the most eager." Since then the pictures have received major critical recognition as the runner up in the prestigious Leica Oscar Barnack award in 2007.
