Howard Schatz，美国著名摄影师，出生于1940年；主要作品系列有：VANITY FAIR、IN CHARACTER、HUMAN BODY、ACTION、UNDERWATER等。

这组作品名为《Mother-Model》，拍摄的是模特们和她们的母亲，西方曾有说法，女孩会偷走母亲的美丽，而这些影像更多展现模特的美是来源于何处。

Howard让模特更多的展现你是母亲的女儿时的样子，而不只是一位性感的时装模特。两人之间的姿态也是摄影师想要关注的点，有些母女之间非常亲密，而有些甚至都不愿触碰到对方。该系列作品已持续12年以上，拍摄来自50个国家、超过200组模特母女的照片。

Women who are pregnant with girls are often reminded of the old wives’ tale about daughters’ stealing their mothers’ beauty.

But what Howard Schatz captures in his photos of models and their mothers are the origins of beauty and how certain features translate into the next generation. Interested not only in their genetic similarities but also in how they interact with each other, Schatz has been taking pictures of mother-model pairs for more than 12 years. Sometimes they hold hands affectionately; other times, they don’t want to touch at all.

I tell the model, ‘Be your mother’s daughter,’ he says of his instructions to his subjects. ‘No need to be a sexy fashion model.’ They have a very hard time with that. I want them to stop smiling and stop telling the camera how it’s supposed to see them.
