Megan Eagles, a self-taught London-based photographer, won the Colour category in the Booooooom Photo Awards. Her photography, characterized by a documentary storytelling style, reflects personal experiences, particularly the transformative journey of motherhood during the pandemic. The isolation experienced during UK's lockdowns profoundly influenced her work. By sharing stories of mothers coping with significant challenges, such as limited support during childbirth, Eagles aims to honor the resilience displayed during such difficult times. Her work emphasizes the powerful narratives behind ordinary moments, significantly influenced by her own experiences as a new mother.
Becoming a mother during the pandemic was a significant turning point for me, both personally and creatively. My pregnancy coincided with the UK's lockdowns.
Many women had to navigate this period with limited support, attending appointments alone or even giving birth without their partners present. The stories in my work capture the quiet resilience of mothers.
