New York Magazine No iPad Till After Dinner, Mom 2026

About

For this editorial feature in New York Magazine, titled 'No iPad Till After Dinner, Mom,' photographer Charlie Engman captures a series of candid, narrative-driven portraits. The project explores the intersection of domestic life and personal technology through a distinctly clean visual lens. Set designer Maisie Lu frames the subjects within warm, patterned interiors, utilising natural light to emphasise expressive, often humorous reactions to daily digital interactions. The collection leverages an editorial aesthetic to document the relationship between older generations and their devices.
