Emer Gillespie gave up control of her camera and let her 11-year-old daughter Laoisha, who has Down syndrome, call the shots in these wonderful portraits.
Emer Gillespie, an Irish artist/photographer based in England, has been working since 2008 on a project with her daughter called Picture You, Picture Me. The idea is that she gives up control of the camera and lets her daughter, Laoisha, direct her.
"As a photographer it is often hard to let go of the control and ownership you have over your images, so this was an exciting but at times confusing project," Emer said. "We were creating the images together, yet I was the editor."
