Story
Childbirth is one of the greatest and most painful challenges humans can endure. It shows the struggles mothers go through to bring new life to the world, and the pure joy that comes with it. The work includes pregnant women, details of delivery (natural delivery and caesarean section), midwifery, delivery, and postpartum, and photographs cover all those involved in the delivery. This stage is full of bitterness and bitterness, pain, joy, blood and tears, sweat, expectations, surprises, moving stories, and thrilling scenes.
Comment
Today, I brought “The Stage of Life” into the spotlight of the Nikon Film and Photo Contest, and I just want to say this: what is being seen is not only the photographs, but also the light that each mother radiates under the operating lights. I am grateful to the judges for their recognition, allowing the faintest heartbeats in the delivery room to resonate beyond the white walls and inspire more of my peers to continue watching over life; I thank the brave mothers, who illuminate our creative fire with their intense pain and tears; and I thank the medical staff who stand by day and night, whose every support extends beyond the lens. This series of photos reminds us that when the shutter is in sync with the fetal heartbeat, technique gains warmth, and a profession becomes a mission. May this “stage” inspire more people to believe that at the intersection of love and professionalism, life always deserves the loudest applause!
