Domestic Bliss: Mother Of Two Takes Darkly Humorous Family Photography

Posted: 29 Nov 2014 06:02 PM PST

Susan Copich, actress and a mother of two from New York, has taken a darkly humorous approach towards traditional family photography with a series of daring images entitled "Domestic Bliss."

Copich spent years taking pictures of her family, but when she reached her mid-forties, she realized that she was missing from almost every photo. That's when she decided to take things into her own hands, creating photos that would reflect all of her feelings – even the ambiguous or negative ones.

"If you've met me, I have a very seemingly sunny disposition, but I have a whole interior world where at different times I've felt depression and angst. For many years, I put it in a little ball, and I decided to just explore it this time. It's been so fun to bring those feelings out and give them light," she says. Each image has what Susan calls a 'twist of darkness' that challenges the ordinary perception of family happiness.
