Amelia is 14 years old. In many ways, she is your average American teenager: since she was three years old, she has been her motherās muse, and the subject of her photographs. However, not every mom is a world-class photographer with a predilection for photographing animals. And itās not every teenager who has portraits of herself with elephants, llamas, ponies, tigers, kangaroos, chimpanzees and endless dogs, cats, and other animals--portraits that hang in the collections of major art museums around the world. Amelia and the Animals is Robin Schwartzās second monograph featuring this collaborative series dedicated to documenting her and Ameliaās adventures among the animals. As Schwartz puts it, āPhotography is a means for Amelia to meet animals. Until recently, she took these opportunities for granted. She didnāt realize how unusual her encounters were until everyone started to tell her how lucky she was to meet so many animals.ā Nonetheless, these images are more than documents of Amelia and her rapport with animals; they offer a meditation on the nature of interspecies communication and serve as evidence of a shared motherādaughter journey into invented worlds.
