A presentation by Ari Seth Cohen and Debra Rapoport 

“With courage and confidence I feel that the possibilities are endless, I want to encourage men and women of all ages to trust and tap into your creativity in whatever form it comes. We gotta keep on, it is never too late, if we haven’t yet met our destiny”

Ari Seth Cohen’s project ‘Advanced Style’ has been a huge inspiration throughout my project. Based in New York City, his mission to change how elder women are represented in the fashion industry is quite remarkable, I admire his confidence in what he is looking for. 

“Most style blogs tend to focus on youth, and mine is focused on men and women who have been dressing for years” 

“Not letting their age stop them for who they were”

It's a challenge to work on the street, it's the hardest photography to do is street photography, because you have to really think on your feet, you have to make a picture in that very moment

Whilst writing my dissertation, I researched into how Street photography has changed overtime. A topic that I admire as Street photography has changed dramatically throughout history, but it captures has fashion and people change; it tells a story about reality. Mary Ellen Mark is an American Street photographer, and this short interview is from a documentary I watched called ‘Everybody Street’ by Cheryl Dunn.
