A recent editorial portrait session for Summerset, photographing Lois — an incredibly active 77-year-old athlete with a remarkable list of achievements.
his editorial photoshoot was created for Summerset Retirement Villages, celebrating the active lifestyle of resident Lois. At 77 years old, Lois is a regular competitor in both the NZ Masters Games and the NZ Masters Championships — and recently swept seven events in Dunedin.
She has also competed internationally, including completing the New York Marathon. Lois keeps much of her training gear at home, so we incorporated her javelin, shot put, sprint spikes, medals, and other equipment into the session. We photographed a mix of outdoor portraits with her sporting props, followed by natural lifestyle imagery at home and in her garden — capturing both her athletic strength and her day-to-day personality.
