An ongoing portrait campaign

40 Over 40


Forty women over forty, photographed and written about. Your portrait and your story become part of the published set. ongoing portrait campaign

Recognition, not a makeover


Nobody here is being fixed.

You did not lose your value at forty and you are not reclaiming anything. You have been the same person the whole time. What has changed is that the world stopped taking your picture, and after a while you stopped expecting it to.


Forty women, photographed properly, and their stories written down while they are still the ones telling them.



The woman who has run the same business for eleven years and has one photograph of herself doing it.


The woman whose children left and who is now trying to remember what she wanted before them.

The woman who is sixty-four and better at her work than she has ever been, and knows it, and has no evidence.


The woman who has been told she photographs badly so many times that she believes it.

"My experience at Anna P Bak Photography was just wonderful. I had a VIP experience from beginning to end. The 40 over 40 was just what I needed! Anna listened to my desire to recognize myself - to be seen again. Wanting to feel beautiful is not vain and Anna captured it resplendently! Thank you, Anna!"
