Portraits of Elderly Folk Showing Their Inner Child
Philly-based portrait photographer Chris Loupos has a personal project that’s tentatively titled “Young at Heart.” It’s a series of images showing elderly people acting like little kids.
None of Loupos’ subjects are actors — they’re just ordinary people who are wise in years and lighthearted enough to take part in a silly photo shoot.
Loupos met all of the subjects at The Watermark at Logan Square, a retirement community in Center City, Philadelphia. The residents decided to take part as a community activity.
The portraits were shot with a Canon 5DS and two lights (a beauty dish and a soft fill light).
“I just wanted to show that elderly people can have fun too, and even though they’re up in age they still have a child like persona inside,” Loupos says. You can find more of his work on his website.
