Go online to explore 15 of the portraits from the Swedish Dads series
Later this summer, these portraits will hang outside ASI for public viewing along the historic fence on Park Avenue.
Swedish Dads is a photographs series with portraits of 45 dads who belong to the relatively small percentage of Swedish men who, with Sweden's generous parental leave policies, choose to stay at home with their children for six months or longer. Through this series, Swedish photographer Johan Bävman examines why these fathers opted to stay at home and how the relationships with their children and their partners changed as a result.
