Domestic Bliss: Mother Of Two Takes Darkly Humorous Family Photos

ADVERTISEMENT

Susan Copich, actress and a mother of two from New York, has taken a dark humor approach towards traditional family photos with a series of daring images entitled “Domestic Bliss.”

Copich spent years taking family portraits, 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 photo ideas 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 into photoshoot ideas and give them light,” she says. Each of these darkly funny photos has what Susan calls a ‘twist of darkness’ that challenges the ordinary perception of happiness of the family members.

I like how the dad is this mysterious entity (with face never shown)...

I interpret this as satire, poking fun at the moms who take sexy selfies and etc. while being oblivious to their children in the background.

It almost looks like it's defending those moms as they have lives and thoughts of their own outside of their children.

Very clever and fun, except the dog one. Don't like the dog one. Because cute dog. However, it does capture brilliantly the mood.

Electrocuting the kids in the tub is alright, just don't hurt the cute dog.
