Maye Musk (yes it's Elon Musk's mother)

When I got a call earlier this summer to photograph Maye Musk for the cover of DI Weekend I was a bit surprised, I was obviously familiar with her son Elon but didn’t know that much about his mother.
Turns out that Maye has been a professional model (and nutritionist) for the past 40 years and often brought her three kids with her when she was doing runaway shows. After the shoot we sat down for lunch and I asked, what her secret was to raising such talented children, she said "just let them be curious."
