So often, during a birth, the photographer centers the lens on mother and baby, or family (as rightly they should), but we’re willing to bet that the brilliant birth photographers of the world have also captured some birth workers at work, too.

In our 2023 MW Photography Showcase, we’re shifting the standard photographic attention and focus to the Midwives, in all their grit and glory, as they bravely, and beautifully, assist and guide birther and baby to, and through, the threshold of labor and birth.

We excitedly invite photographers to “Elevate Midwifery” with us, sharing your images that center the Midwife for the tremendous life work, sacrifice, wisdom, and love they so graciously bestow on families during the birth of their child.

Photographers, search your gallery for those sacred birth photos, those hidden gems, that feature and capture Midwives working their magic, and submit to our MW Showcase for a chance to win cash, and artistic recognition within the Global Birth Community. Most importantly, however, is an opportunity for Midwives to be respected and cherished for their selfless service, during birth and beyond.
