One mother took many lovely photos of her sleeping son. After the little baby, Wen, fell asleep, his mother would create an imaginary fairy tale scene behind him and then take those lovely photos.
When the baby was asleep, he was photographed traveling to castles(城堡) in the clouds, cooking eggs in the kitchen or swinging on the swing with an elephant to catch him. The photos have attracted people around the world because of the cute creativity.
Mrs Liao drew inspiration(灵感) from a famous child photographer Anne and a mother Adele who published a book of similar photos, so she decided to turn her hobby of photographing toward her son. She said, “Every day just before Wen’s nap, I would imagine him being the main character in one of my favorite scenes and paint a background setting with common clothes, lovely animals and other household materials, just like how an artist would deal with the paint brush. After he fell asleep, I would place him at the centre of the theme I had creates and start taking photos.”
With a collection of more than one hundred photos of Wen, Mrs Liao published a book in Chinese in Taiwan. And there are plans for an English version to be published. She told her fans, “I’m truly touched by your support.”
