Over 50 and Fabulous –
I want to show how women exude radiance and beauty regardless of age. By celebrating the beauty of older women, I want to encourage a more inclusive perspective on ageing, for women to reclaim their stories, embrace their beauty, and inspire others to do the same. Presently Sittings are invitation only Very excited to announce I am exhibiting my Photographs in the Wylye Vally Art trail 2025- Title (In)Visible
I began taking photographs for my beauty blog, that I set up to give beauty and make up tips for women 50+ . I originally started by using my Smart phone which has a snazzy camera, but with growing confidence I have now progressed to a small unobtrusive camera. My initial 50 and Fabulous project has flourished, igniting a profound passion in photography. I enjoy having the creative control and always have a strong vision, but confess Im not a technical photographer. (yet!) It is also a fabulous way to address the lack of positive imagery featuring older women.
What truly inspires me is the opportunity to express the message that women exude radiance and beauty regardless of age. To be able to question the narrow definitions of beauty and the limited representations of ageing often presented to us. By challenging stereotypes and celebrating the beauty of older women, I want to encourage a more inclusive and compassionate perspective on ageing, for women to reclaim their stories, embrace their beauty, and inspire others to do the same.
