Helen, celebrating 56 fabulous years with the Your Face, Your Story Project.
The idea for this project came from my experience of ageing, from the incredible women I have photographed who apologise for their flaws before celebrating their beauty, from other cultures who treat their older women with respect & reverence & from friends who are navigating the mysteries of ageing with joy, strength, courage & humour. It came from the belief that we should tell the stereotypes to rack off. Age whatever way you want, & celebrate every moment, as it is a privilege to age when so many in our world do not have that opportunity.
Helen is the second project participant to have had her post-shoot meeting. With Helen’s shoot we wanted to capture Helen and her many aspects of her personality and her life and it was a lovely process doing this. I caught up today with Helen and her husband Tuck, watched Helen’s beautiful shoot slideshow & I went over ways for Helen to cull her gallery & come up with a favourite or two! I cannot wait to find out which image is Helen’s favourite as it will become the second image for the exhibition!
The Your Face, Your Story Project started off as a project of the heart for me and is turning out to be much more than I could have ever imagined.
I have five places remaining for the 2024 Your Face, Your Story Project. If you want to learn more about this project, please email me at info@mynotesfrom.com.
