Helen, celebrating 56 fabulous years with the Your Face, Your Story Project.
Helen was one of the first incredible women to participate in the Your Face, Your Story Project and was one of the first to complete her shoot.
The Your Face, Your Story Project is all about celebrating the lives of women over 40. With Helen’s shoot, we wanted to create images that captured Helen’s many different sides. We had several outfit changes in the studio and some of the shoot involved capturing Helen and her beautiful sense of movement.
Helen is an absolute rockstar. She is a founding member of Shimmy 2 Support (on FB: Shimmy in the Glen) which uses the fun of belly dancing to begin meaningful conversations, raise awareness, and fundraise for support services for the victims and survivors of domestic and family abuse. She is a powerhouse of a woman doing good things for people.
She can also move like you would not believe!
Helen finalised her shoot gallery this week which is always something I look forward to as I play a little game. I always pick my favourite image from the shoot and see if it matches with the subject. Funny thing is that I am almost never right! I think in the years I have been shooting that I have got it right once! But I think that is a lovely thing that we all see beauty differently and that there are so many different sides of our own beauty for others to enjoy.
The Your Face, Your Story Project is all about celebrating the lives of women over 40 and challenging the stereotypes of women and ageing. It is my own private little revolution. All spots for the Your Face, Your Story Project 2024 are now filled. I look forward to sharing the faces and stories of these 40 incredible women over 40 in the coming months.
The project will culminate in a special exhibition in February 2025.
