Statement

You remind me of me

‘You remind me of me’ is an intimate documentary story about my son making a sense of this world while reminding me of my own experience of being a child.
This series is ongoing, and as long as my son will let me or want to be part of this collaboration I will go on shooting his experiences. Some of the photos are spontaneous and some are done consciously, a collaborative work of 2 humans that were once one.

Profile

Ana Maria Topoleanu

I picked up the first camera in my 20s and I can't remember ever putting it down. I've shot lifestyle, editorial, journalism, portraiture, travel & architecture. I'm passionate about intimate concepts such as being a woman and motherhood, I enjoy creating personal projects as a process of introspection. I combine this with assignments and commercial work.

I live between Romania and Mexico, I am a nomad heart in love with light and visual storytelling.

Jury selection

Seeing life through future generations is humbling. The intimacy of these striking images relay the love and connection between the photographer and her son and reveal a beauty emanating vulnerability and strength. It makes me curious to know more about each of their contribution to this series.
