  1. AMAZING! LOVE IT!

  2. Wow, that is the hottest 60 year old I have ever seen. by far the best of all shots. and I am 21. hahaha.

  3. Wow, that’s totally cool. I think the 10 year old is most amazing — it’s hard to make people look that young when they’ve passed 20. I would have guessed she was the 30 year old, although I don’t know why.

  4. There is something fabulously enigmatic with maturity. I use that word advisedly because I am 62. The truth is, one becomes far more interesting, less demanding, more at ease with your self and that makes you far more attractive.
    Besides, 60 is the new 40. Look at Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch to name a few.
    No, nothing to fear about being older. Enjoy it to the maximum. Take care. The Baldchemist.

  5. 5 Jean-Luc Picard

    Powerful stuff, no wonder Gordon Brown looks younger every day.

  6. 6 hell yeah

    let me do the 1o year old

  7. i think she doesn’t seems to look like 60 at 60. she more to look like 30

  8. 8 frimu Toni

    yeap, nice work

  9. 9 tommi

    Maybe because she seems to be right for 30 yr old.. anyway.. i hope for a world full of 60 yr.old ladies like this!

  10. 10 nkspas

    Is it just me, or if you look a certain way does the 10-year-old look kinda like a 70- or 80-year old?

  11. Very nice and very creative. The photos are lovely

  12. That’s amazing!

  13. Nice advertisment campaign. Is it out now in France? Where did u find it?

  14. 14 Florian

    Look at the teeths they are “not normal”. in the first picture they stand to the left side. In the second pictur not. Sorry for improvable English ;-)

  15. Wow! I’ve never seen a concept like this. Awesome.

  16. I think the 10 yo looks at least like 13, the 20 yo is ok, maybe the 30 yo but the 40 and 50 yo (the 60 yo doesn’t show)? No way, look at the hands!

  17. 30’s must have been hard!

  18. 18 princeconnoisseur

    That is truly amazing and a little frightening. I’ve seen children aged to 50 whose parents are feeding hem nothing but junk food but nothing like this. It’s amazing. If you don’t mind I’d like to send you some traffic from my site visitors. Wow, again that’s amazing.

  19. 19 klysha

    That is pretty awesome! I’d love to have someone try to do that on me just to get an idea what I might look like at 60.

  20. 40 looks worse than 60 and 30 doesn’t look very good either. Interesting.

  21. 21 rabidweasels

    sorry, but nobody looks like that at 50 or 60 without “help”.

  22. 22 worldcalmdown

    wow! that’s really good!
    the wonders of make up and lighting :)

    and my! the beauty of aging.. i love it.

  23. 23 bloodravens

    That’s amazing that they had her looking like 10.
    The 30-year-old looks creepy!

    I still say the 20-year-old is hottest, but the 30 and 40 year old versions still have that VERY attractive ‘MILF’ factor. Even 50….though its pushing it a bit. ^^

  24. 24 bloodravens

    I don’t know french, but some of the words, botox, silicone (implants?), antioxidents…could we get translated versions from someone?

  25. Should I look that good at 50. Hey, I AM 50!

  26. And I hope I don’t age that much between 50 and 60!

  27. Yes. She lacks wrinkles. If she looks that good at 60 it probably means she had a few face lifts

  28. Wow!..Good concept huh!..I love it!…Great!

  29. Wow! That is really a neat concept :)

  30. 30 jimi

    interesting

  31. Oh, Great it is a really nice idea. I believe that every age has its own beauty.

  32. 32 mswanda

    Amazing, I love it…

  33. the power of make up shall we say…

  34. 34 jamahbags

    We love this! She is beautiful

  35. weeeiiiirrrrdddd….

  36. I liked 40 and 50 years ones. Loose boobs and a collar bone does the trick. 10 years is amazing with soft soldiers.

    Nice !!!

  37. That is absolutely amazing, great photos ..

  38. That’s awesome! Great photos!

  39. 39 td23

    AWESOME!! only word dat came to my mind when i saw this transformational photo series:D

  40. 40 inn33dfr33dom

    uh-mazing!!

  41. 41 Kalla Vieaux

    Very cool. Why do European Vogues have such better concepts than American Vogue?

  42. I love the 10’s… She really pulled it off. Not a lot of people can manage to look young. May I repost? :)

  43. 43 manushi

    SOOPER!…BUT THE 10 YEAR OLD DOESNT WORK SOMEHOW

  44. Fascinating!!

  45. 45 jobrogal

    wow!! i love it!!

  46. wow, this is really brilliant. The style seems to get classier with age.

  47. 47 agsapto

    wow great composition, i love it…

    http://agsapto.wordpress.com

  48. Honestly, quite amazing.

  49. 49 zyxo

    I knew these things were possible, but it is very interesting to see the photos next to one another. Nice work !

  50. 50 emilyjoycediary

    What a load of shi*te!

    Factor in four kids, two divorces, an eight year addiction to sleeping pills, a botched face lift, about fifty-thousand G&Ts, and a recurring bout of piles, then let’s see where she’s at…

    • 51 callmedee

      I agree. It looks like she aged in a bubble. Ther is not “life”.

  51. 52 graphicdesignmelbourne

    do you know if photoshop was used at all? hard to believe that these amazing results were accomplished only through clever use of make-up and lighting

  52. Can’t believe it..Amazing

  53. 54 Robert Ekström

    fantastic, love this.

  54. Incredible!

  55. Hey, I admire the excellent work.
    However, I’m wondering whether or not
    you could do the reverse with me.
    I’m now 52, could you bring me back to 12???…ha ha ha

  56. 57 Timo

    i’m blown away!

  57. 58 aidacoronado

    Great Pictures!

  58. 59 danbluchoco

    Hey…AWESOMENESS!!

  59. 60 curbsandstoops

    this is really well done! I would love to date her at any of those ages haha

  60. 61 Bakke

    Wow, amacing! Loved the 10 year old photo, I can’t believe that someone made her a 60 year old! :P

  61. well i think they hired a 10 year who looked like her to photograph and then the other pictures are the same girl just with different make-up and hair.

  62. Wow – that is just amazing. Stunning photographs

  63. Very good work – from idea to images by the photographer, the model, the lighting engineer, the hairstylist, the make-up artist, and everyone else involved

  64. 65 Angel Michelle

    The photos are cool but…why is the 10 year old picture taken like the model’s naked?
    10 year old’s are still minors!

  65. Amazing!

  66. Wow, that’s really cool. I really stare at the photo that is supposed to be 10 years old… how she looked really young on that photo as if she were a kid.

  67. cool… amazing!

  68. 69 Wilson

    No to cigarrettes, no to botox, no to peeling, no silicone, no to lifting, yes to Photoshop

  69. 70 click here

    Boy, this is some high-class site

  70. wow. Just to think, with the proper lighting and makeup, maybe I could look young again. :)

  71. 72 badzer

    everything is great exept for the 10 year old, don’t worry the 10 year old is perfect but don’t you think that her face is a bit older than her age and when I mean a bit older I mean alot older like 70 or 80 years old

  72. fun!! gorgeous pics. i’m turning 40 and i should only hope that i look that good!!

  73. 74 abh1wordpress

    We should also use these photos to understand that the media manipulates all ages and all models with digital retouching so that nobody famous ever graces a magazine cover with their “real” face.

  74. 75 kidz4you

    brilliant!

  75. 76 donnajgamache

    Very creative and interesting, but please don’t be fooled into thinking every 60 year old can look this way if they are enlightened enough to try. What they’ve done is tone down the color in her makeup and change style of hair, clothes, and accessories to simulate loss of strong color and transition to presumed conservatism in personal style over the years. There’s a whole lot more to aging, my friends, say I from the lofty age of 57, and still looking pretty, pretty good myself. They have only hinted at a few wrinkles in her brow. Wrinkles are not the worst thing about an aging face, in my opinion. The worst thing is the sagging, and this model looks good because they have not simulated that here. Also, this woman has fabulous facial bones, and people with a strong brow, jaw, chin, and cheekbones always age best. That good bone structure will support the sagging skin longer and look better longer than someone with a softer “baby-face”. Yeah, this is a creative and interesting exercise with makeup and lighting, but don’t be fooled into thinking anyone is going to look like this at 50 or 60 without a good cosmetic surgeon to tighten up the sagging skin, and even then it’s still old skin pulled tighter. That’s what I know.

  76. 78 very cool

    By my opinion, these photos are not a representation of how well the make up artist or the photographer was able to capture this model looking “50″ or looking “10″ – anyone who has a critical eye for art should know not to take things literally. I can’t read French so I can’t get the entire scope of the series, but I would imagine the true statement has to do with embracing age at any age. “You’re as young as you feel” if you will. On the other hand, it could be a statement to the categorization of aging. Pretty brilliant stuff

  77. Thats very cool! I agree with some of the other posters though, something looks a bit off about 60. Otherwise very interesting!

  78. 80 centcentcent

    she became more preety yr by yr

  79. 81 thekarin

    she needs a bit more wrinkles for a 60 year old, no?

  80. Thats pretty incredible. Awsome photos!

  81. WOW!

  82. 84 motiononcredit

    Incredible!

  83. 85 aasthagill

    Awesome! Great concept.I love the different angles you have clicked to depict age.

  84. Fantastic series! Very creative and well executed! Great use of hands and facial expression!

  85. 87 nilah

    This is really great!!! Love it! :-) It is always a big change when we are working with wrong hair – but this is amazing!!!

  86. WOW!! This is absulotely amazing, hard to say it’s by same model.

  87. 89 Christine

    I think the 40 year old looks the best to me. At that age, you’ve past the stage of caring how others look at you and what they might say. But at 40, women have magnanimous confidence and an inner glow that says “hey, I’ve come this far. I’m great, I’m confident and I can beat the hell out of you!” It is so attractive — that devil-may-care attitude, that both men and women are attracted to women in their 40s. Look at Madonna, Sharon Stone, Nicole Kidman and Jodie Foster – all women in their 40s, and all ravishing!

  88. 90 kays31

    The ten year old looks inappropriate. Can’t find the word. . (sorry)
    The others are quite attractive.

  89. 91 sofieb

    The “10 year old” looks like a 30 year old.

    The “30 year old” looks like the 20 year old girl with a hang-over and less classy style (previous 20 year old gone bad).

    The “40 year old” looks like a classy and unusually together 20 year old,

    the “50 year old” looks like a 25 year old with an unhealthy lifestyle,

    the 60 year old looks like Judy Collins.

  90. 92 adorability

    amazing! ive never ever seen anything like it. she actually looks the ages! the one at 10! im soo awe struck!

  91. 93 xeroxed

    nicely done …

  92. 94 melina loke

    Great bone structure and sophistication. All were very good, and if I didn’t know what I was seeing I wouldn’t be looking for the tell tale signs. Being 10 the give away to me is in the eyes but as I said I was looking – otherwise I would say she (you) are another “Pretty Baby” Brooke Shields with a sensual quality way to young. I won’t argue with 20, 30 or 40 and I thought 50 was close to perfect, I could somehow see a touch of hurt experienced through life but next time don’t forget the veins in the hands and last sweet 60, even with shading her neck is a give away that she is younger or has had help. This was wonderful fun – Thank you!

  93. 95 youcouldbelievethis

    This is great!

  94. 96 Str187

    amazing…

    Str187

  95. thats pretty neat

  96. intrresting 20 and 40 for mee is lovley im surprixed

  97. Fantastic!

  98. 100 schank

    Wow! That’s so cool

  99. She’s beautiful, and so are the pictures.
    I like the “original” one better, of course. Make-up creates a false impression to me, can’t explain the feeling…

    Though very beautiful, the color of her nails is kind of odd… such beautiful blue eyes together with black nails? Ah, forget about painting the nails, or at least forget about the black color! :)

  100. 102 Tracy

    Formidable!

  101. Uhhh.. Cool girl in 20 years! :)

  102. great job!
    It’s amazing what make up can do! O_O

  103. 105 prosepetrose

    weird

  104. Wow this is so amazing !

  105. It’s amazing !!!

  106. 108 Emmely

    amazing

  107. 109 Unknown

    I can read some french, which probably helps out in this art.

  108. 110 mmea7

    Wow! That is so cool!

  109. How cool!!!

  110. 112 forumistannet

    Damn, Its a great job!

  111. Very nice photpgraphy art. I love that!…

  112. Very nice photography art, I love it…

  113. The image of the 10-year-old is creepy, in that she’s sexualized. Very provocative. We know a 10-year-old is not supposed to look sexual at all, but we’re all sexual beings from birth and the photographer seems to be playing off of that. I’d hate to see this sort of image taken the wrong way; then again, it’s for a European audience, not a more (generally) juvenile American one.

    I’m not necessarily attracted to the model in any of these photos, though she is, obviously, very beautiful. Funny how I (pushing 40) am most attracted to the 40- and 50-year-old versions. Maybe that means I’m growing up.

  114. 116 xweets

    all the pictures are great. I dont know about the 30 year old though. it looks younger than 30.

  115. 117 nazzerzz

    this is soo cool!!!

  116. 118 ghatozkat

    Great pictures, I loved the 40 yrs old one.

  117. quite interesting! :)

  118. 120 notcot

    Amazing touch of make up , photography and ofcourse thought!!!

  119. 121 Kazi Kamei

    Great composition. Also makes me want to look that great at 50 and 60. Which means I can, just have to love myself absolutely and take good care of me. All you people who are crying disbelief, get a grip on your life and look great at 60!

  120. 122 3cha

    Very beautiful art!
    my fave one is 10 years old’s pic..

  121. Wow, she’s going to age well!

  122. 124 Akshay Anand

    Wonderfull job. May be the artist knows the gestures and expressions of women in all ages.

  123. wow! that is amazing! how old is the model right now? amazing make-up and lighting really provide the camera trick!

  124. Amazing .. Really very impressive, wanted to see such a collection from a long time

  125. 127 Beth Agustina

    wow super! the make up artist and the photographer are damn good!

  126. As a 19 year old, I loved the 30 year old photo.

    It demonstrated a shift in the life of the happy, smiley, 10 to 20 first years of her life to one where the viewer can see that either the 30 year old has been having a tough time as she looks disheveled; or she’s just been having an amazingly pleasant life and is currently a little burned out from excessive partying. The recovery of class and esteem then seen at 40 makes this little story come full circle.

    Really amazing piece.

    That 30 year old picture made me have a crush on the model.

    There’s something about older women… ;)

  127. 129 satguru0

    it is very good art through which such type of pictures designed. I like such art which tell the future images of person.

  128. I loved how make ups changed the look of the model.

  129. 131 ozze

    cool!

  130. nice idea

  131. That’s one thing I noticed. Someone who had replied to the post noticed the campaigning. If you actually read the words underneath, or understood. It’s actually advertising what a person would look like IF they avoid the use of certain products at a certain age that generally help preserve youth and instead use products that are more, I guess, healthier for the body.
    The age of 10 is all about the big promise that the youthful beauty will practically last on into adulthood.
    Age 20, if you say no to cigarettes and go for anti-oxidants.
    Age 30, Be Pro-Collagen.
    Age 40, Don’t do peeling say yes to the protection of stem cells.
    Age 50, Don’t use silicone.
    Age 60, Use creams that reduce lines of aging.
    It’s all there which is actually a very true add, however I don’t believe the photographer was able add in the fact that this woman will be surrounded by smokes, smogs, intoxication of different fumes from different things. The aspects are from an absolute world, when alcohol and drugs and smoke and pollution don’t affect a persons well being.

  132. 134 ashdayanti

    very amazing pic, i would like to have it to

  133. 135 jordanmagician

    Wow I never thought that it could be done through make up and lighting alone. I might have thought of it as a product of photoshop but apparently it’s not. Very well done!

  134. The photo links are broken, I can’t see the photos. Do you have an alternate link?

  135. 137 kvsivaraman

    Dear All
    Wonderful. Any software used to make this one?
    If so, I need it. Please reply by mail.
    KVSivaraman

  136. I think that she’s far too beautiful for 50 and 60 years…. the crinkles are missing… maheks it all look unnaturally….

  137. Impressive!

  138. 140 Sandy

    Wow. That’s amazing. I wonder if makeup can change a 60 yo to look like a 25 yo. — not talking about me.

  139. 141 cindylou88

    The 10 year old is frighteningly unattractive and disturbing. Perhaps a deliberate attempt to fuse Lolita and a fey, almost gremlin, look. It is obvious that 20 is the correct age because the model’s face seems fuller and healthier. In the other photographs the aging process seems to focus on the prominent bones of the face, particularly the chin and the cheek bones, which “defleshes” them and thus makes them less attractive. The “30″ to me looked like nothing more than a “20″ that had seen a lot of tough breaks in life and also didn’t know how to wear eye shadow. oddly enough at 50 and 60 flesh returns to the face, I suppose to create more shadows. I wouldn’t say this shoot was an unqualified success, but it is a neat concept.

  140. This is pretty neat.

  141. Very nice and very creative, as it has already been said.

  142. Very nice and very creative, as it has already been said.

  143. Wow, that’s really interesting!

  144. 146 sensiway

    i think 30’s looks more like really rough late 20’s!!! haha but either way, all the photos are amazing – A+ job

  145. Wow, that’s crazy.

  146. 148 sahar009

    Pretty cool!

  147. 149 filmfish

    hahah, wow this is great stuff. :D

  148. Amazing. Incredible make-up & photography :)

  149. it’s grate!

  150. 152 ovidiusuteu

    She doesnt look anything like 50 years old. The hands are giving away. nice portraits but far from being realistic.

  151. 153 allabouttees

    very beautiful, and girl looks fine in all the ages

  152. 154 albsurelove

    Wow, that is awesome. Love how they did that.
    The 60 year old pic did not show up for me though.
    Great photography.
    How old is she actually?

  153. Really Amazing…

  154. 156 Gunnar Österlund

    Were is the 60-year picture? Is it stolen?

  155. wow…digicam in 1958?

  156. 158 kingnumb

    cool!

  157. At 30 she looks so good, and at 40 so mature. If I would have made those photos, them would definitely be on deviantART until now ;)

  158. 160 freelanceallison

    That is absolutely amazing. Each of those pictures really does look like close to corresponding ages. I would love to see what she looks like as ‘herself’. Really great concept though, great artwork overall!

  159. I have to say that at 40 I see Ashley Judd…anyone else?

    I love photography so I enjoyed this post very much…thank you for sharing.

  160. Wow.. that is really cool. Great work

  161. 163 bikerbernie

    WOW!

    Thanks for this it is truly amazing. This is one reason that I believe when a man/boy is accused of statutory rape his claim that she lied about her age and he believed her should be a mitigating circumstance to consider his guilt or innocence.

    Bernie Misiura

  162. 164 The Lizbing

    Wow! That’s amazing! Especially making her look 10!
    xx

  163. 165 Krista

    The 30 year old looks worse than anything. Makes me scared of turning 30.

  164. 166 roo

    Hell Yeah…. You are SICK

  165. 167 The Devil Maker

    I’ll start with 20′ and 60. The milf look at 60 is pretty attracting.
    lol

  166. woew !! cool…

  167. 169 fietsbult

    70?

  168. 170 jennir1

    Amazing photography!!! I will add however that the hands don’t lie. That’s either the best kept 60 year old hand ever or she’s really 20. :-)

  169. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

  170. Fascinating!
    It says a lot about how we conceive age – so much of the apparent youth of the first one is that gawky pose. Although the eyelids give it away – far too much definition for a child. I thought the 40 and 50 year old photos were the most attractive.
    Must be nice for the model to know that she will be a strikingly attractive woman into old age!

  171. 173 kalenadc

    I WANT TO BE HER WHEN I GROW UP!!!

  172. That’s wild…very cool!

  173. 175 whimeditions

    What a lot of surgery! Ugly!

  174. Wow~that is a very nice photo shoots. I cannot understand the text written below the pictures, but I’m guessing it’s beauty treatments?

  175. Cool! nice idea. She’s hot in any age ;)

  176. 178 Matt

    This is pretty damn cool! …the only thing I would say negative about it is the older pictures are a bit off, take a note of her hands…no wrinkles? By the time youre 60 your hands tend to look much much older, but overall amazing!

  177. I like beans

  178. This is simply amazing! She’s really pretty

  179. Now that is change I can believe. What style! What grace! Que belle! I hope I can age as well as she does. I know I will with my gene structure and high cheek bones.

    Horrible

  181. Damn nice shoot. Very interesting idea and executed beautifully.

  182. 185 CMyers

    I actually thought the look of the 30 yr old was telling. At that age many women begin to try to dress and look younger so it comes out looking overdone. Like the look of Carrie on Sex and the City at times.

    Overall, good use of prop jewelry, clothing, make up and lighting to highlight the differences between the ages.

  183. 186 cuki24

    wow :O
    all i can say is good job.
    it’s really great =D

  184. The whole ensemble who contrived and executed this amazing display are to be congratulated! However, the young lady is absolutely awesome. She captures each age so ‘right on’ – it was spooky. Where did she get so much knowledge of human aging? Brilliant. Thank you!

  185. 189 yoyolise

    I guess I’m one of the only ones who thinks it incredibly unlikely that many 50 and 60 year-olds will look that good – at least not without a lot of surgery? Upper and lower eyelids, and jawline, especially

  186. 190 gumballyum

    thats amazing! i wish i could do that…

  187. 191 joelricard0

    That is CRAZY hot!!!

    This is very interesting. It’s creepy how they made her look 10 years old. That’s the stuff pedophiles live for, very creepy. Now her 30 and 40 year old photos, to me, need to be swapped. I’m 35 and she looks older than me in th “30″ year old photo and looks a whole lot better at 40 than she does at 30. Hmmmm?!? Either way, it’s a good photo shoot. They should try it with women of different ethnicities.

  190. 194 papse

    This is a great idea for a photo shoot.
    Only you look like that fresh in your 50s and 60s if you are kept in the fridge for the rest of your life, stuffed in a regenerating creme.
    Another way is to become so rich that for the rest of your life you can only worry for your appearance and having a good time. Having a good time and no worries can do that. Unlucky for the rest of us who have.

  191. 195 lulujack

    40,50,60 all look the same except for her hair!

  192. 196 trebord

    C’est magnifique! Tres bon!

  204. 208 jessica00shines

    wow amazing!! the one that didnt convince me was the first one, her sight wasnt from a 10 years old girl, but everything was great!!

  205. Amazing, but kind of creepy in a sense.

  206. 210 MJ

    Gorgeous!!

  207. This is absolutely awesome! Kudos to the make up artist, stylist and the model!! She looks exactly the age depicted!!!! Great Job!!!!!

  214. 219 Ana Paula

    absolutely amazing!!

  215. 220 Jennifer

    great post! thanks for sharing. Really goes to show how powerfully our understanding of age is influenced by the signs and symbols that we read visually…

  216. 221 down2thethread

    OH CRAZY!! awesome post!! I am new here in the blogosphere!! check out my site:)

  217. 222 Mia Taylor

    Thats a very cool concept, she really pulls it off- great photos

  218. 223 girlslashwoman

    That’s amazing.
    I remember I went to a fair once and there was this computer that rendered my face to grow older slowly. Scary stuff.
    But I wouldn’t mind if I looked like her and 60, she looks fab.

  219. 224 stillbee

    I love the fourty year old version! reminds me of something too classic!

  220. well done!

  221. Wow, funtastic photo. It’s remind us that we will getting old.

  222. 227 mrspiggy

    Love this! That’s cool! ^__^

  223. To me this isn’t very realistic because most Caucasian don’t age that gracefully (no offend) after 35 due to thin skin and sun exposer. Those pictures are a “Demi Moore” kind of scenario. Most African American women who take care of themselves however, will age according to that pictures timeline because of the extra built-in protection their skin has against sun damage.

    If you take a look at Rachel Zoe she is about 38 to 40 and she looks more like the picture of the 60 year old and really the pic of 60 year looks a little better than Rachel. Those pictures truly are total special effects-magazine work and really not reality for most Caucasian women without the help of Botox or plastic surgery.

  224. Her eyes give away the fact that she’s nit 10 in the first image.
    For the 20 and 30 ones you’ve made her look too young but the rest are about right.

  225. 230 ingaspace

    make-up is amazing! and great photograhper and model as well :-)

  226. wow thats soo sick amazing

  227. Creepy… but amazing!:O

  228. Incredible! Great job with the make-up and lighting.

  229. 234 John

    Interesting concept – done just so so. The hands don’t show any aging nor does the neck – but there are def. age spots on the 10 yr olds chest…30 looks more like a 50 trying to look 30 and missing the mark…take a look at women who are really these ages and you will see lines, loss of fat pads in the face and cheeks, thinning fingers, deepening eye sockets – if you go to the effort and trouble of doing shot, for Gods sake do it the right way!

  230. 235 aurianadowns

    wow really interesting. I don’t think i’ve ever seen this done more successfully.

  231. 236 abrandnewcolony

    fantastic!

  232. wow, interesting!

  233. 238 motivate09

    Wow she looks good even at 50 I deffenitly need her number. LOL.

  234. 239 motivate09

    sorry I misspelled definitely

  235. Amazing work!

  236. This really is so amazing! It still surprises me every time I look at it.

  237. Yes, stage actors must use creative make-up to create roles of varying ages. Richard Corson’s STAGE MAKEUP is a classic text for how to create different ages and effects with theater make-up. Of course, make-up application for photography models will be more subtle in application, but this book is a great place to start – and may even include appilcation for TV and photo shoots.

  238. That’s pretty clever! Did they really just rely on lighting and makeup and not Photoshop?

  239. I’d love to look like her when I turn 60!

  240. Hey dude! It’s amazing! Very good job :)

  241. 246 carissa

    wow! i think the 10 year old one was very nicely done

  242. 247 Kevin

    Yea, that is really cool. Great photos.

    Oh yea, please help my friends and I settle our differences once and for all at:

    http://thetossup.wordpress.com/

    I’d really appreciate it.

  243. 248 panagoman

    OWO! Very creative!

  244. 249 mahyacinthus

    so cute

  245. 250 nomad27

    These pictures are fantastic, but I have to admit that the 30-year-old (the one closest to my age) scares the hell out of me. Did this fictional person get hooked on meth by 30, then make an amazing recovery by 40? In any case, 40 is my favorite. She doesn’t look terribly young (our society’s ideal), but she is gorgeous. Kudos to the makeup artist and photographer.

  246. 251 mly

    The wonders of photography, lighting and make up. Love it!

  247. We should all be lucky to age this nicely.well done

  248. Looks great at 50!

  249. This woman is hotter than a two dollar pistol at any age!

  250. 255 lsh

    this was amazing.
    glad i found it.
    just lets us girls know how much they can do to change looks and that a bunch of pretty and skinny girls in magazines are fake…

  251. Great job, I love this!

  252. 257 Scipio

    @Jean-Luc

    I actually heard your comment in the captain’s own voice… very creepy.

  253. Really cool concept love the demotration of the male gaze

  254. 259 linda

    she looks at her most fabulous at 50. The 10 year old looks at least 17, not much different at 20 but at 30 she looks haggard. At forty pretty good but at 50 truly beautiful. At 60 elegance shines through. I will strive for that look!

  255. 260 Martin

    I wonder whether it would be possible to prepare the same portfolio using make-up only when she’s 50 ;) .

  256. 261 luis

    damn thats freekin crazy

  257. intrresting… 4 me 30 is so HOT!
    10q

  258. 263 BeautyMarked

    WOW.
    i can barely believe those are all the same person!
    when she’s 40 she looks like michelle pfeiffer.
    i applaud her modeling skills!!!

    ahh, the power of makeup <3

  259. who is the arthist? this is amazing..

  260. 265 Juliana

    I’m not surprise that no one want me in my 30ties. Its amazing, she looks georgers in her 50ties and 60ties

  261. 266 Diana

    The 10 year old is the best. The others are fantastic as well. The 60 year old is almost perfect, but doesn’t look 100% genuine– looks a little fake.

  262. 267 merry

    veryyyyyyyy beautiful!

  263. quality work

  264. 269 Joel

    I think she looks more like 10, 16, 20, 30, 35, 50. No way does the 50 look like 50.

  265. 271 Justin

    Notice how the 30 year old is a little over the top with make-up?

    Is this a single 30 year old in NYC?

  266. 272 jaycelle

    Amazing! I wonder how they do it? Make-up and lighting? Nevertheless, BRAVO! ;)

  267. Woah…no one looks that good at age 60. You need large 5 ton containers of make up to look that good.

  268. 274 Adam

    I don’t like to admit it, but this “10 years old” girl’s face doesn’t look like it really is a 10 years old girl…

    But I think it’s still a great idea to create such photos…

  269. Thanks for sharing your work with us! Your theme is just awesome!

  270. 276 Roger Cox

    Wow … classic beauty. Classic pose, AND extraordinary creativity to portray a life time on a page!!

  271. 277 Mia

    I don’t know, the 10 and 50-60 pictures don’t work for me. the first if it was 14-15 that would be alright, but not 10. And I have nothing aginst older people but there is something not right – not believable, in the older pictures.
    I like the 40 picture best.
    Anyway, this is amazing work and the model is sooo pretty

  272. 278 urmum

    cool idea, but i’m still disturbed.

  273. If my ex-wife had looked that good at 60 i wouldn’t have married that 18 year old Gold Digging cheerleader.

  274. 280 Lexi

    When she is forty she looks kinda like Michelle Pfieffer.
    I think its the lips…..

    She looks Gorgeous in each one though…

    It is pretty amazing.

  275. 281 atefeh

  276. 282 Maddy

    This is wonderful! I have always maintained that you should always determine a womans age by looking at her hands. A well looked after face can hide the age but hands inevitably grow old. I would have instantly figured out that this was a make up job because of the hands. They are as young as ever

  277. 283 Hungarian Pizza

    I dropped a big load this morning and, unsatisfied, I dropped two more big loads. What a lovely morning. And I saw George W. Bush finally leave the scene. So America dropped the big load, too. And Cheney the fascist bastard is gone and Rice the apologist is gone, too. What relief.

  278. Fantastic photographic and make-up work. It would also have been good to see all the images side-by-side.

  279. 285 optimax

    Amazing skin for fifty.

  280. 286 Pantaleon, Michael O.

    Hi what is this all about?

  281. 287 J Hawkins

    This is an excellent example of producing photographs!!!

  282. 288 J Hawkins

    This is a wonderful series of photos!!! It brings out what can be done with such scenery.

  283. 289 Funtastic

    wow fanstastic 6!!!

  284. 290 b

    should see jan saudek. the same idea but not make up…time.

  285. Whao cool photography! But how old is she?

  286. 292 Lady Alexa

    ohh yes, is very nice

  287. 293 karen

    Get a life, folks !

  288. 294 Lex

    Just fantastic pictures. 10 is my favorite.

  289. Very interesting. Kinda disturbing, but really amazing what time and patience can accomplish.

  290. 296 Kelly

    she looks gorgeous at 40.

  291. 297 Bill

    30 is hot for sure…

  292. 298 MO-D

    Great MAKEUP and a great MODEL as well !

  293. 299 ashley

    Omg hottest 30 year old ever the 40 and 50 are amazing too

  294. That is really amazing how they do that…

    Yes, I wasn’t fond of the 30 yr old, but nonetheless still very creative and talented work!

    Kimberly :)

  295. Wow this is pretty crazy. It’s hard to believe it is the same woman.

  296. I love it! I just wrote a short post today on how age is in the eye of the beholder. Can I link this post so my circle of friends can see your post?

    -Cruz

  297. 303 Tom-tom

    20 is by the far the hottest.

  298. 304 Auntielala

    Wow hope I look like that at 60!

  299. 305 Alexandra

    wow

  300. 306 mermaid_212

    wouldnt be nice if we all cld look like this at 60, but in reality who does with out make-up excellent work.

  301. 307 Mark

    Somehow there seems to be something wrong about the “10-year old” photograph but I guess it would entertain paedophiles. The “30-year old” photograph makes her look like she has a grudge against the world but both the “40-year old” and the “50-year old” photographs just ooze sex-appeal. Amazing photography, and they say the camera never lies!

  302. 308 vicky

    this is really good, really shows what u can do with tecnology,

  303. 309 Malcolm

    Very good, did you notice in the 60 year old photo she did not have any lines on her face like a 60 year old would have. Really very good though.

  304. Yo that’s definetly the hottest 60 year old around, the 10 year old only looks 10 because the boobs aren’t showing lol :D

  305. She looks older in the 40 picture than the 50 picture. I hope I look that good at 60, but it would be with a lot of help!

  306. By the age 60 you need a face/chin lift, botox for the wrinkles and an eyelift and probably liposuction for various areas and possibly a tummy tuck. Let’s not forget laser resurfacing of the skin too. Whatever it takes to hold it all together as long as you have the money to do so.

  307. 313 Georgina Miller

    Make up is amazing…love the stuff!!

  308. That/s amazing hopefully I will be able to do that & look as good as that when I get to sixty

  309. 315 Bron Barker

    Although this is an amazing example of how makeup can be used to convey a certain age – and the model must be commended on her amazing ability to capture the essence of each age – I found the 10 yr old photo disturbing due to her concealed, yet alluded to, nudity. I know the model is actually 20, but it still doesn’t make it right.

  310. 316 MVS

    how about 20 years one, looking like ,say , 1 year old?

  311. awesome…..

  312. I find it kind of bizarre that the 10 year old and the 20 year old aren’t wearing clothes. Seems to me there’s a touch of pedophilia here.

  313. 319 melsyJ

    I don’t believe the images of the ‘10′ year old or the ‘60′ year old.

    The others are quite good.

  314. I don’t usually click on Stumble Upon’s invitations, and this is not a subject I would be interested in, however I quickly scrolled down to the 60-age, and I do not look like that. I am 60.

    I look like I am in my 40’s, that is not how 60 year olds look today. Just wanted to share that’s all. I do agree with the person who commented on the nudity in the younger pictures. I would post my pix, but I am concerned since this is a very public sight and I am not a show off type.

    Thank you.

  315. 321 Yuli

    no way!!!!
    You’re kidding me!!!

  316. Impressive :-O

  317. Nice ages work!

  318. Neat series !!

  319. This must be what they did prior to photoshop!

  320. 326 Naomi

    How wonderful! I must put more effort in to my appearance I think! Amazing what you can do when you are an artist!!

  321. Intriguing. This shows just how much art is involved in photography.

  322. 328 Billie

    I only hope I would look that good as a 60 year old. I think that is the best photo :)

  323. 330 zaboo

    DAMN

  324. great photos, they look like real, but i think they are photoshopped…

  325. 332 Jackson

    WTF? No 30 yr old I know dresses like that.

  326. 333 SuKelly

    WoW amazing!! Just shows you what good maky up and lighting can do…Age is just a number- it’s how you previece yourself that counts these days..

  327. Absolutely incredible.

    I can see how at 10, they tipped her face back to make her face smaller. Then they moved the lighting to control and generate shadows as she was aged.

    I would say it says don’t worry about aging, there is always beauty :)

    Ron

  328. its amazing, how creative!

  329. Why did they feel like the 10 yr old pic, she needed to be topless?

  330. woaaw thats amazing i would love to have tha done to me!

  331. I’m impressed. This is isn’t your every day masterclass demo. This is what search engines and the content of the internet is amazing. Getting to look at this page wasn’t possible for so many years.

    Yellow pages, don’t think so. Encyclopaedia Britannica, nope — etc.

  332. 339 Al

    saw this linked from fb; had this to say; thought i’d share with everyone else:

    no wonder the 40s are the beginnings of the prime of life, it shows in her confidence of style & simplicity… 30s tend to overdo the last stab at being youthful (i used to wear wild nail polish colors with outfits that matched for the entire week–only a classic french now…); 20s wear the freedom of expression with/without clothes; 10 was just naked so you can’t really call it tens/teens-without-age-wrinkles & spots. ahh, been there, doin that… looking forward to 50 on up, Lord willing… who’s the french translator in the house on the yes-to-this no-to-that statements? what would i be doing with stem cells now??? ;D
