We are all born, but not all know how: these images show the pain and light of each birth | Photography

If you’re looking at this photo gallery, in a way (or two, in some cases) you’ve already been through this. We are all born, but not everyone knows how. This photo gallery sheds light on the “sacrifice” of all the mothers in the world. If, on the one hand, there is blood and pain in the images, on the other there is also intense joy and hope.

Every year for more than a decade, the IAPBP – International Association of Professional Birth Photographers presents the best birth photographs taken by the more than 1,100 photographers of 52 nationalities who belong to the association. Their goal is to “show the best work” they have done during the year. More and more photographers belong to the association, thanks to “the great media coverage that the contest” Annual Image Contest for Professional Birth Photographers has had. These are the best of 2021.
