Illustrator Ana Cuba Showcases Enchantment of Motherhood Through Photography

In the latest edition of Atmos magazine, Volume 09: Kinship, Spanish photographer Ana Cuba presents a captivating collection of images focusing on the connections and intricacies of life. One of the standout projects in this volume is Ana Cuba's intimately personal series titled "Flesh of My Flesh," which offers a unique perspective on the wonder and beauty of new life.

Ana Cuba, who is based between London and Barcelona, uses her macro lens to capture detailed, otherworldly images of her newborn daughter, Marla. From the tiny toe nails to the cracks of her lips and long eye lashes, Cuba's photographs reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary.
