Photographer Jamie Diamond became a Reborner after discovering the community on Ebay. She wanted a fuller understanding of what drove these women to spend sometimes more than $10,000 on a life-like but utterly lifeless infant. Hence, her photo series “Mother Love”, which involved traveling across the US photographing the subculture that has grown up around Reborn dolls. Her work explores the murky waters of reality mixed with artifice, where Reborners create relationships with inanimate objects — an art form born of fantasy. See more on her website.
