So thankful to have my hands on a copy of my debut photobook “Mawmaw”

This journey transformed me in many ways, most importantly by teaching me how to be a father — a role I once thought I might never know how to do. I got very close with these families over the five years of making Mawmaw. My final year of photographing was spent visiting their homes with my own baby daughter in my arms. A full circle moment for me.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my work over the years. And thank you to all the Mawmaws for taking care of these kids and giving them all the love they deserve.

Mawmaw is an intimate, long-term exploration of West Virginia’s grandfamilies – households where children are being raised by their grandparents. Spanning all four seasons, the work moves beyond the usual narratives around the opioid crisis to examine the many reasons grandparents step into a caregiving role: incarceration, death, unpreparedness, or neglect.

Through photographs made between 2021 and 2026, the book weaves together everyday life — from birthdays and play to exhaustion and resilience — to show both the triumphs and the struggles of these families. At the heart of it all are the grandmothers themselves, who keep these children fed, happy, and most importantly, deeply loved.

Delighted to share that Anthony Wilson’s MAWMAW is available for pre-order today via Pomegranate and Guest ⭐️💓

Mawmaw is an intimate, long-term exploration of West Virginia’s grandfamilies – households where children are being raised by their grandparents. Spanning all four seasons, the work moves beyond the usual narratives around the opioid crisis to examine the many reasons grandparents step into a caregiving role: incarceration, death, unpreparedness, or neglect.

Through photographs made between 2021 and 2026, the book weaves together everyday life — from birthdays and play to exhaustion and resilience — to show both the triumphs and the struggles of these families. At the heart of it all are the grandmothers themselves, who keep these children fed, happy, and most importantly, deeply loved.

I released a short film I directed three years ago on YouTube this morning.

During my first year in LA in 2017, I lived in a tiny, cheap guest house that I found on Craigslist with a garden, tucked behind a pastel pink house where an elderly couple, Ted & Zanne, had spent nearly 70 years together. They slowly became my LA grandparents and made me feel at home when I felt alone in a new city by leaving notes on my doorstep, soup when I was sick, and inviting me in for white wine and Wheel of Fortune nights.

In 2022, I shot this film in their house. The film is called “Connection”.

Zanne, my LA grandmother, passed away last year. This one is for her.
