Celebrating lives, legacy, and every grey hair. Photography exhibition by Oliver Doran

A project by Oliver Doran that has seen 40 women over the age of 40 have their portrait taken is to be exhibited for a one-weekend-only showing.

The project focuses on celebrating the strength wisdom and beauty of women over 40.

Oliver Doran, a Jersey-based portrait photographer has been working on the project for the best part of 2022.

Oliver says, “It all began with an idea. I want women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and over to feel seen, heard and appreciated.  It’s all about capturing individual beauty and celebrating lives and legacy.”

The project has seen women from all walks of life and backgrounds taking part for different reasons. Some choosing to be involved as a way to push themselves outside of their comfort zones, while others have been involved to celebrate personal milestones, recovery from illness, or simply to have a day to be glammed- up and enjoy a celebrity-style shoot.

The walls of Oliver Doran’s studio, located on La Colomberie, will be adorned with his signature style, black-and-white-film-noir classic portraits of the women who have taken part.
