About this title

Synopsis

The Ninth Month is an exquisite collection of photographs by Catherine Steinmann celebrating the ninth month of pregnancy. The photographs are organized in two sections, New York and Kaua'i. New York introduces subjects who pose with expressive translucent fabrics in the studio. Kaua'i presents images made on the idyllic Hawaiian island, where the women are photographed in a water environment. Steinmann's ethereal images provide "a mirror reflecting women's souls" days before they give birth. Radiating life, The Ninth Month gently but firmly shatters social taboos that favor hiding the full form of the pregnant woman. Catherine Steinmann's sensitive and empathetic eye captures not only the pregnant body's graceful form, but also the experience of pregnancy in its most life-affirming light.
