The beauty industry seems to make big $$$ by telling us that grey hair is a sign of age and age is something terrible we have to hide.

What if we would stop being terrified by getting older. What if we would welcome getting older. What if we celebrated it?

Silver Lining is a not for profit photography project that celebrates women who are embracing their grey hair. It doesn't matter if you are grey, white or slat&pepper. Maybe you have ditched dying your hair years ago or just started recently. Everyone is welcome to take part in the project.

You might ask why I am doing it?

This project is not against colouring your hair. This project, like all naked face photography projects, is about choice - YOUR choice!

My job is to help women to accept their bodies and love them as they are, no matter age, size or shape. I do it because it makes me feel good when I can show another woman their beauty even though they might not quite fit into the beauty norm of modern society.

Join us to inspire more women to love themselves as they are!

All profits will be donated to a charity of your choice.

I am looking for:

Who: Women 18+, who are embracing their silver hair

How: One b&w head and shoulders portrait of the participant, bare shoulders.

Where: Brisbane City

How long: 30 min

When: 29 August 2021
