M.I.L.K. Volume 1: Family: A Celebration Of Humanity - Gift Edition
In this stunning pictorial journal, 100 talented professional and amateur photographers, many of them award-winners, have captured the essence of our most profound relationship: family. Cutting across race and nationality, their photographs - chosen from 400,000 entries worldwide - bring to life the intimate moments and emotions shared by all families, whether in Australia, Rwanda, Colombia, or the United States.
Taken from the most ambitious photographic competition and exhibit ever staged, the M.I.L.K. Collection - Moments of Intimacy, Laughter, and Kinship - these photos depict the joy, heartbreak and love that shape and make up our lives.
Here are the bonds that bring us together as parent and child, sister and brother, youth and elder. From a father's first look at his new baby to a weathered grandma's embrace, the laughter of octogenarian uncle and nephew to the promise of a mother's kiss, these powerful images tell the story of humanity and celebrate its deepest emotional connection.
The M.I.L.K. project was conceived to honour what it is to be part of a family. Look at the men, women and children in these photos. In their faces you will recognise yourself and your loved ones, for you, too, are a member of the great kinship that is the human family. Family is a universal homecoming, a commemoration of the human spirit itself.
M.I.L.K. Volume 2: Friendship - Gift Edition

M.I.L.K. Volume 3: Love - Gift Edition
We are surrounded by love - the fierce emotion that consumes us as it expands our hearts and enables us to overcome the worst and savour the wondrous. Love is the nectar that inspires us as poets and parents, companions and neighbours, siblings and citizens. It is a depth of sentiment that defines us and shapes our humanity, a river connecting the nostalgia of the old with the dreams of youth. It is the most profound, powerful and encompassing force in life.
In this stunning photographic collection, 100 photographers, including a number of Pulitzer Prize winners, bring to light this profound feeling through photographs from the M.I.L.K. Collection: Moments of Intimacy, Laughter and Kinship - one of the most ambitious photographic competitions ever staged.
Here is love in all its facets: the adoration of a girl as she gazes into her father's eyes; the passion of young lovers kissing beside a fountain; the attachment of a boy to his dog; the contentment of a family asleep at the beach; the devotion of an elderly wife reading to her husband from a book written in Braille; the tenderness of a little sister embracing her big brother; the affection of two entwined fingers.
The M.I.L.K. project was conceived to revere what it is to love and be loved. Within the pages of these glorious photographs, you will witness the best that is in all of us, our bountiful capacity for love.
