About the series: Amelia’s World and Animal Affinity:
These are photographs drawn from real journeys undertaken by Robin Schwartz and her daughter, Amelia, in the interspecies private world that they inhabit together with animals of all varieties. The photographs are not documents - they are evidence of an invented world and the fables they enact in that world. Over the past ten years, this photography project has acted as an opportunity to access dreams and discover the extraordinary.
