Proyecto Pyokko By Sophie Starzenski

Photographer Sophie Starzenski, by contrast, shows pregnancy's steady, beautiful progression from beginning to end in "Proyecto Pyokko," a series of maternity pictures that she describes in simple terms as 40 weeks and a mirror. The Buenos Aires-based artist said that "Pyokko" is a nickname for her now-3-month-old son, Simon -- whose disarmingly cute baby face we get to see in due course.
She documented her pregnancy in photographs, taking a picture at week 4, 15, 20, 25, 29, 33, 37, 40 and then finally with her two month old son, Simon. She began working in a lab and developing her own photographs and at aged 19 she enrolled on various photography courses and decided it was more than just a hobby. Sophie loves to travel and takes her camera with her everywhere she goes to capture her memories. She has participated in expositions in her hometown of Buenos Aires, as well as working freelance and collaborating with local media.
