Nice to meet you!

I'm Gloria

Self-portrait of The Mother's Eye photographer with her baby twins. Motherhood and postpartum photography in Penge, South East London.

I’m a documentary filmmaker who fell in love with birth while working on my first feature doc, and with motherhood photography while doing self-portraits of my own journey as a mum.

I see birth and those first weeks with a newborn as a sacred space. And I know how priceless it is to have it documented, to hold in your hands sharp vivid images while it's all just a blur in your head.
