Sie tanzte. Sie lachte. Sie strahlte.
Über 40, fabelhaft und absolut in ihrem Element. So sieht Freude aus, wenn eine Frau entscheidet, dass sie es wert ist, gefeiert zu werden.
Als Portraitfotografin in Innsbruck habe ich das „40 Over 40“-Projekt ins Leben gerufen, um Frauen ab 40 in Tirol eine Bühne zu geben. Dagmar wurde in meinem Studio in Innsbruck fotografiert, um ihre Persönlichkeit, ihre Lebensgeschichte und ihre innere Stärke sichtbar zu machen – jenseits von Klischees und Altersgrenzen.
She Signed Up Three Times. The Third Time Changed Everything.
Mila is a mother of five, a life strategist, and a woman who had been carrying the weight of everyone else's dreams for years. She first discovered the 40 Over 40 project three years ago — and signed up twice before life got in the way. The third time, she said she felt it intuitively: this was her moment. What happened inside that studio was more than beautiful portraits. It was a woman finally choosing herself.
68, Fabulous, and Done Apologising for It
Michelle's husband knew something she had forgotten — that she deserved to be celebrated. So he gave her a gift certificate for a glamour portrait session. What happened next was not just beautiful photographs. It was a woman of 68 standing in front of a camera, fully herself, without apology — and finally seeing what everyone around her had always seen.
She Didn't Think She Was Worth It. The Photos Said Otherwise
For 45 years, Erika avoided cameras. At work, she turned down media interviews. In family photos, she hid behind others. Not because she lacked courage — she had plenty of that. But because somewhere along the way, she had decided that her face was not worth seeing. Then she found the 40 Over 40 project. And everything she believed about herself had to be reconsidered.
