When Sophie Starzenski got pregnant, she decided to chronicle the physical changes to her body. The Argentinian photographer took a nearly naked selfie every few weeks, and so began "40 Weeks and a Mirror."
She began the series when she was just four weeks pregnant. The second-to-last photo was taken just four hours before she went into labor. You meet her newborn baby Simon after that. Strung together, the photos are a simple and stunning timeline of what pregnancy does to your body.
Starzenski chose to block her face with the camera because "the photographs are not about me, they're about the changes to my body," she told The Guardian.
She decided to pose just in her underwear for a similar reason: "I wanted
a memory of my pregnancy, and I wanted to take the pictures myself.
It was a simple project, just honest and quick.
