‘Substantive Beauty’ illustrates a visual voice of honor to the maturing woman. Inspired, in-part, by personal observations and experiences, the succeeding images were created to celebrate who she is: body, mind, spirit, and experience. She is accomplished, has prevailed over barriers, obstacles and set-backs, and she aspires to rise higher. She is significant, has value, and her beauty shines from the inside out. She is a beacon for the generations following her. The approach in creating these photographs was gleaned from my affinity for fine art portraiture and black and white photography. I explore figurative and literal contextual responses to three fundamental questions: Who is she? Who else is she? Who can she be? The images are as natural as they are compelling. Embracing the premise that whether seen or unseen, known or unknown, the maturing woman is captivating in all her ‘Substantive Beauty’.
