Priscilla Saada's 'Moons' Photobook Captures Modern Motherhood's Chaotic Elegance
Paris-based photographer Priscilla Saada has released 'Moons,' a photobook celebrating the messy, dynamic reality of modern motherhood. Inspired by her own mother's rushed yet elegant parenting, Saada photographs mothers in candid 'slip moments' as they navigate streets with children in tow. The project began with friends and expanded through word of mouth, with each mother styling herself. Saada collaborated with art director Valentine Etievant on the book design, her first photobook, learning the entire production process from pre-press to print. The hardback is available at MEP, Yvon Lambert, Ofr, and Cahier Central in Paris. Saada aims to redefine motherhood through a modern, imperfect lens, contrasting with idealized portrayals.
