I had this idea for a long while of adding variety in my body of work. As a starting point I wanted to show mature skin models in my beauty work. The main trigger being an image I initially saw online that truly inspired me, opening my mind to the possibility.
As simple as it may sound, the truth is, I had to overcome my own fear to start this project. I doubted myself and my capacity to translate what I had in mind. So it took me some time to finally kick start the project. And to put my determination to the test, I stumbled upon a series of minor setbacks while organising this shoot. The kind that makes you doubt if you’re doing the right thing. The ultimate one being on the day of the shoot when my camera started to malfunction and the shoot prematurely had to come to a halt.
At this point, I have to say that the team on set was just amazing and so supportive. Its spirit made all the difference and helped me look at this experience from a different perspective.
I am grateful I got a chance to meet and work with these lovely ladies and how we managed to get these shots that are the start of something new…
