Acclaimed Australian photographer Ponch Hawkes has photographed five hundred naked women aged over 50, stripping off with them.
The idea behind Ponch's 500 Strong exhibtion, on at Melbourne's Museum of Australian Photography, is to break down stereotypes about the body beautiful as we age.
500 Strong was part of a much larger show Flesh After Fifty, co-conceived by curator Jane Scott to address the "invisibility of older women and the gendered shame attached to ageing."
Susie is joined by Ponch Hawkes and Jane Scott, who approached Ponch with the idea.
