Julie Blackmon is one of 9 siblings and is a mother of 3 children. Her work is inspired by a Dutch proverb that is about a chaotic household which is something she can personally relate to. I definitely get the feeling of stress and chaos from these photos which makes them very successful. It is very interesting how she takes these realistic photos and yet some how they look like fabricated scenes. I'm not sure if it is the angle in which she takes them that makes them look unrealistic but it is fascinating. Her pictures remind me of a Dr. Seuss book where there is always something a little off about the picture. I like her choice to use children because you know their innocence is genuine which makes the photos more believable.
