These photos are simply beautiful.
A London-based photographer is changing the way older adult couples see themselves
Social media photography is often saturated with images of happy couples, just on the cusp of romance or marriage, sharing their love via carefully posed and cultivated engagement photos. One London-based photographer wanted to capture a similar image, but with a twist: she asked long-married senior couples to pose instead.that she seeks out senior couples to pose for “engagement-style photos” for them to keep, and that they’re usually surprised at the request.
“It’s just the pleasant shock of never, ever imagining that someone would ask them to pose like a newly married couple at 80 years old,” Setia says. The resulting photos are, in a word, breathtaking. There’s something exceptionally beautiful about witnessing several decades of love between two human beings come alive in a photo.“I’ve been photographing them [senior couples] for nearly a year now,” Setia tells Scary Mommy.
Photos like these are profound in that they show what life can really look like if you’re lucky enough to grow old with someone you love.“It’s been an incredibly fulfilling creative journey,” Setia says. “Just gives me hope that everlasting love actually exists.”
