When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
In this instagram-able world, we have become used to seeing our own and each other’s faces “filtered”, flattened and featureless. To look “young for your age” is considered a compliment.
At the Midlife Movement we say there is nothing wrong with being older, or “old”.
We are beautiful just as we are – every line, grey hair, lump and bump speaks of our experience, strength and character.
This collection of 166 black and white portraits of women over 40 without their make up – including over 100 “selfies” sent to the project – is our way of trying to “normalise” seeing older faces.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to look good, or in wearing make up.
But I believe it is time to reclaim our natural beauty and not be ashamed that we are no longer youthful.
I see beauty in every woman I photograph. The women who took part in this project are full of wisdom, grace and joy and I feel privileged to have been able to reflect that back to them.
Face it, Own it!
