Freude dokumentieren: Geburtsfotos

12 Dec

Ein Beitrag von: Katja Kemnitz

Documenting Delight, also „Freude dokumentieren“ heißt die Homepage der Australierin Georgia. Und der Name der Seite ist absolut berechtigt, denn sie zeigt dort Fotos ihrer Familie, sowie ihrer Arbeit als Geburtsfotografin.

Ja, Ihr habt richtig gelesen: Geburtsfotografin. Fotos von Geburten waren mir bisher auch unbekannt. Als ich jedoch Georgias Bilder sah, überzeugten sie mich so sehr, dass ich unbedingt ein Interview mit ihr führen wollte. Ich bin so froh, dass sie zugestimmt und mir so einen Einblick in diese seltene Arbeit gewährt hat.

Georgia filmt die Geburten zusätzlich, aber ich entdecke gerade bei der Dokumentation einer Geburt die Stärke der Fotografien. Sie sind nicht aufdringlich und dennoch nah und emotional. Georgia macht aus einmaligen Erlebnissen so unbeschreibliche Fotos und ich glaube, dass das jeder sieht, auch wenn er noch nie eine Geburt miterlebt hat.

Hallo Georgia. Ich habe noch nie von Geburtsfotografie gehört, bevor ich Deine Bilder sah. Wie bist Du auf die Idee gekommen, Geburten zu fotografieren?

Meine älteste Schwester ist Fotografin und fragte mich, ob sie bei meiner ersten Geburt dabei sein und sie fotografieren dürfte. Ich war nicht begeistert von der Idee, sagte aber zu, denn ich fand den Gedanken schön, einige erste Bilder meiner Tochter zu bekommen. Ich hatte keine Ahnung, wie kostbar die Bilder der ersten Begegnung mit meinem Baby sein würden. Danach wusste ich, dass ich meine nächste Geburt auch dokumentiert haben wollte. Meine Geburtsbilder sind aussagekräftiger als meine Hochzeitsbilder.

Ich stelle es mir schwierig vor, Fremde in einer so intimen Situation zu sehen. Für Dich als Fotografin, aber auch für die Eltern ist es sicher nicht einfach. Wie gehst Du damit um? Kennst Du die Gedanken der Eltern?

Ich treffe mich mit jeder Mutter vor ihrer Geburt, so dass wir eine Beziehung aufbauen können und ich nicht ganz fremd bin. Einige Frauen sind besorgt, dass jemand anderes sie in den Wehen sieht. Aber die meisten fühlen sich wohler, wenn sie wissen, dass ich das alles schon gesehen habe und sie meine bisherige Arbeit online sehen können, wenn sie möchten.

Was liebst Du an der Geburtsfotografie, was bewegt Dich, weiter zu fotografieren?

Ich liebe die Seltenheit, die Emotion, die Freude. Es gibt nichts im Leben, das so real und wunderbar ist, wie die Momente, in denen ein Kind auf die Welt kommt. Da ist so viel Emotion und Liebe.

Gibt es auch schwierige Momente für Dich?

Schwer für mich ist es manchmal, 24 Stunden am Tag auf Abruf bereit und nicht in der Lage zu sein, einfach aus der Stadt zu fahren oder das Handy mal auszuschalten.

Was ist die schönste Erfahrung, die Du bisher bei diesem Job hattest?

Ich denke, als eine meiner Frauen eine vaginale Geburt nach einem Kaiserschnitt in ihrem Wohnzimmer hatte, liebevoll unterstützt von ihrem Mann, der auch Arzt ist. Der Moment, als sie in Tränen ausbrach, weil sie ihr Baby im Arm hielt, wohlwissend, dass es ihr Körper war, der dies vollbracht hat.

Geburten beginnen meist überraschend und dauern mehrere Stunden. Wie organisierst Du solch ein Geburtsshooting?

Ich bin 24 Stunden am Tag per Telefon erreichbar, wenn eine Geburt ansteht. Ich begleite die Mütter, sobald die Wehen anfangen, bis das Baby geboren ist. Manchmal sind das drei Stunden, manchmal sind es auch 26. Dieser Job ist nicht vorhersagbar!

Bist Du nach der Geburt weiter in Kontakt mit den Familien, nachdem Du mit ihnen diese einmalige Erfahrung der Geburt geteilt hast?

Ja, meistens bilden sich schöne Beziehungen zu den Familien, die mich eingeladen haben, bei der Geburt ihrer Kinder dabei zu sein. Ich finde es toll, sehen zu dürfen, wie die kleinen Babies wachsen!

Vielen Dank, dass Du Dir Zeit für meine Fragen genommen hast!

Some cool visual art images:

Cute Fukurou Japanese Owl Cartoon in Japan
visual art
Image by epSos.de
Free picture of the Japanese Owl Cartoon that is free and in Japan. This colorful cartoon picture is created for you by the birdy friend epSos.de and it can be used for free, if you link epSos.de as the original author of the image.

The Fukurou means Owl in Japanese and is a popular Japanese symbol for good luck and protection from hardships.

A cartoon movie is a form of the illustrated visual art of two dimensions. While the specific definition has changed with the time, the modern use refers to typically not realistic or semirealistic drawing or painting wanted for satire, caricature or humor, or to the art style of such works. They call an artist that a drawer creates cartoon movies.

The term caused in the Middle age and first it described a preparatory drawing for a work of art, like a painting, fresh air, hangings or shop window of colors. In 19no century, it came to refer to graceful illustrations in magazines and newspapers, and at the beginning of 20mo century and forward it referred to cartoon stories and cartoon.

The owls are a group of birds that belong to the order Strigiformes, constituting 200 existing species of the bird of prey. Majority is solitary and night-loving with some exceptions (p.ej., the Owl of the Hawk of the North). The owls hunt generally small mammals, insects and other birds, although a few species specialize in the fish that he hunts. They are in all the regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland and some remote islands. Although the owls are typically solitary, the literary collective noun for a group of owls is a parliament. The owls are characterized by his small peaks and wide faces, and they split into two families: the typical owls, Strigidae; and the owls of the granary, Tytonidae.

Another characteristic of the owl that it helps in his apprehension of the night prey is his sight. The owls are the part of a small group of birds through that they live nocturnamente, but they don’t use echolocation to direct them in the flight in situations of few light. The owls know for his big eyes disproportionally compared to his skull. An apparent consequence of the evolution of an absolutely big eye in a relatively small skull is that the eye of the owl has become tubular in the form.

The exposed owls object specialized functions that hear and forms of the ear that also they help in the hunting. They are evident for asymmetric laying of the ear in the skull in some genres. The owls can have internal or external ears, but those genres that exhibit the asymmetric geometry of the ear only have external laying of the ear. It hasn’t been reported that the asymmetry spreads to the average or internal ear of the owl. The asymmetric laying of the ear in the skull allows the owl to indicate the position of his prey. This especially is the Owl true for definitely night species like the owls of the granary ‘of Tyto’ or Tengmalm.

The beak of the owl is short, curved and line down, and typically hooked in the top to seize and to tear his prey. Once the prey is captured, the movement scissor of the summit and low account is used to tear the textile and to kill. The sharp low rim of the top account is employed at the coordination with the sharp top rim of the low account to deliver this movement. The peak that turns down allows the visual field of the owl to be clear, as well as to direct the sound in the ears without turning sonorous waves away far from the face.

Thank you for sharing this owl picture with your friends !
