Tricia King is a photographer and researcher whose work explores visual storytelling, ageing, and social connection. She leads the Picture Yourself project, a participatory photography initiative that challenges age-related stereotypes by positioning older adults as both image-makers and subjects. Her practice integrates creative methodologies with community engagement to foster inclusion, agency, and wellbeing.
Picture Yourself is a national project generating images of older adults created by older adults. Through training and mentoring, older photographers are equipped with the technical and conceptual skills to produce high-quality, contemporary imagery that reflects diverse lived experiences of ageing. This approach shifts authorship and control, enabling participants to represent themselves and their communities on their own terms.
The exhibition presents a curated selection of photographs created through this process, emphasising visibility, identity, and connection. The resulting body of work challenges dominant visual narratives of decline by offering nuanced, authentic representations of later life. Over 20 older photographers have contributed to a library which will launch with more than 500 images which are freely available for use under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial library.
