Our mission is simple: to improve the quality of life for older Australians by fostering creativity, social connections, and movement through engaging photographic based projects. Across this website we will be growing our resource library to help you incorporate photographic practices into your life and the lives of those who you care for.
Picture Yourself Age Authentic Image Libary
Promoting authentic images of ageing to challenge ageist stereotypes in the media through a freely accessible and inclusive online image library.
Photo walks
Our photo walks blend creativity with movement, inviting participants to explore their surroundings through the lens of a camera. This project encourages creative expression, builds social connections, and improves mobility, making it a favourite for many.
Ageing Well Creative Lab
The Ageing Well Creative Lab empowers participants to embrace new technologies and creative practice, from smartphone photography to digital editing. This project fosters confidence and engagement, helping older adults connect with creativity through new media.
“Photography offers a new way of seeing and looking at our surroundings afresh. Seeing the world through a camera means we slow down, we look for the simple beauty like colours, lines, and patterns. ”
