A Mother’s Love in Black and White with Gwen Coyne

Gwen Coyne (@gwencoyne) may spend her weekdays in a cubicle, but the digital marketing manager, who works in San Francisco, uses her weekends to explore California with her family and her camera. “I live in such a beautiful place that if you watch and wait, something magical usually happens,” says Gwen. After working with film and digital photography, Gwen began taking photos with her phone after the birth of her now 6-year-old daughter, who has asthma and has been in the hospital a few times over the course of her young life.

As a manifestation of her concern, Gwen turned her phone’s camera lens toward her daughter. “I want to create images that help remind us of the time between the more intense periods,” she says. The black-and-white quality of her photographs helps to further remove the scenes from reality. “I’m more interested in collecting snippets rather than documenting specifics,” says Gwen. “I want my daughter to be able to fill in the gaps with her imagination when she gets older.”
