hen working with my female clients, all too often I find myself standing behind the camera seeing how I am going to capture them, and I think to myself I wish they could see themselves the way I see them.
I know that women of a certain age are no longer considered by society as beautiful. They are not appreciated for their accomplishments. They are not acknowledged for their heroism. They are not celebrated for the challenges they have overcome. They are rarely seen for who they are.
I established the 40 Women Over 40 project to combine my passion for fine art portraiture photography with my desire to recognize who these incredible women are and to beautifully capture their successes and achievements.
Women work so hard to be everything to everyone and often forget to be kind, appreciative, generous and supportive to themselves and their bodies.
We all know that the camera doesn’t lie. it held within its gaze the essence of these incredible women.
I believe these portraits capture the whole of these women. Even with their “supposed flaws,” I know these women are truly beautiful and when looking at these portraits, I am confident you will easily see what I see.

SoFLo HABITAT magazine: What drew you to photography?
LuAnn Warner-Prokos: Since I was a child, I was always drawn to documenting history. As an educator I taught history. I love the connection to history when you look at old photographs and study the people in the photos. I am fascinated how photography can capture the essence of a person’s soul. I often take photos without the person smiling. It is just so beautiful to see the soul of the person.
