Victoria Ugarte, When I Grow Up (Portrait (2019))

The aim of “When I Grow Up” was to photograph mature women (50+) from a variety of professions and walks of life dressed in the characters of their childhood or engaged in an activity that they loved as children. The shoot required the subject to place their trust in the photographer as they accessed their inner child and became vulnerable. This resulted in both photographer and subject harnessing that forgotten world of endless possibilities and unbridled joy and a composition filled with energy and emotion.
