Calgary photographer Laurie Brown is challenging stereotypes with her new boudoir collection featuring women aged 40 to 77: 'We become invisible after a certain age.'
WATCH: A Calgary photographer is paying tribute to some pretty special women this month. As Gil Tucker shows us, she’s out to celebrate their strength and challenge some stereotypes.
Calgary photographer Laurie Brown is using her skills to celebrate the strength of women and challenge some stereotypes.“This is a group of women who are still stunningly gorgeous, but they’re forgotten,” Brown said. “We become invisible after a certain age, it’s always younger, younger, younger and I want to challenge that idea.
“At my age, people think I’m crazy to do this,” Gosselin said. “I’m still very active, I kickbox three to four times a week and try to keep in shape.”“One woman suffered breast cancer, has had a double mastectomy, with no reconstruction.” Brown said.“I live with chronic pain – it can become your identity when it’s 24/7 and so I tried this as a way of seeing my body in the different way and loving it,” Dawn said.
And on days when I’m not feeling great I just look at my picture – there’s courage and vulnerability and embracing who you are at every age.”Click to share quote on Twitter: And on days when I'm not feeling great I just look at my picture - there's courage and vulnerability and embracing who you are at every age.
