Overview

Following the success of her previous book, Mother and Child, renowned photographer and author Claiborne Swanson Frank explores the essence of modern fatherhood in the twenty-first century in her latest body of work, Father and Child, in which she turns her lens on more than fifty iconic father-child families, including Eli Manning, Craig Melvin, Jimmy Chin, Wes Gordon, Tommy Haas, James Van Der Beek, Rashid Johnson, Kevin Love, Brunello Cucinelli, and Tony Romo among many others. Swanson Frank's stunning portraits capture the emotional bonds and beauty that define the profound relationship between a father and his child. Each page features ethereal portraits paired with quotes that are heartfelt, amusing, and deeply personal, as each father shares his intimate experiences of fatherhood through moving stories and insights. The fathers come from various walks of life-pro athletes, artists, filmmakers, designers, musicians, journalists, authors-creating a rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives. These intimate and stunning portraits will captivate and inspire readers as they embark on a profound journey that reminds us of the power of fatherhood and the great gift of love.
