Portraits of Babies in Camera Bags

When photographer Alessandro Della Bella‘s son Claudio was born in December 2014, he shared the happy news of the new family member by shooting a picture of Claudio sleeping in the main compartment of his camera bag.

Photojournalist Tom Pennington shared a similar photograph several years ago. It’s a shot that has been shared in photography forums over the years:

When photographer Drake Busch photographed his baby Grayson, he not only placed Grayson in a camera bag
