Petra Szepesvári is a photographer and the creator and artistic director of the project As You Are! - Traces of Existence. The project focuses on naturally beautiful women over 50 - brave women who are curious about themselves and dare to embrace outward change as an authentic reflection of their inner world. They have faced - and continue to face - their inner struggles, and it is not always easy to confront the visible signs of aging. Yet each of them carries a deep inner harmony that is beautifully and gracefully reflected in their faces.
The project not only includes images from an exhibition; it is a movement that provides every woman with an inspiring platform to see the passage of time not as something to fear, but as an opportunity. It invites women to experience mature age not as a loss, but as authentic personal growth and self-realization.
The website and social media platforms of As You Are! will guide and inspire you on this journey. Take a look around the Portrait Hall, where natural beauty is always in focus.
