Supermarket Mary Print

Supermarket Mary is twenty two years old. She is a singer in a school bluegrass band she setup with her friends. When her father's business went bust she took a job at the local supermarket. Her dream of going on the road had to be delayed. She decided to stay close to family and take nine month off and become a surrogate. Her band members thought she was crazy for doing this. Now that she feels the aches and pains and has morning sickness she agrees but she says when life gives you lemons you have to make babies! For this work I was inspired by Magnum photographers such as Martin Parr who takes images of ordinary people in a documentary form as well as Annie Leibovitz who would stage her subjects. Supermarket Mary in this case is however is not a real person nor a model, she is a digital creation.
