Over 40
Titled Over 40 I have got together several photo projects that in one way or another show different issues of belonging to this age group.
Over 40 is the result to take selfportraits almost daily since May 2014, I have edited this documentary work in different books / topics. It is a work in progress that changes every day.
“.. I feel the need to photograph myself, to not forget, to recognize / to see MYSELF, to overcome bad times, to talk about what concerns me, what matters to me, take care of me, to love me …”
Charo Corrales

A PECHO DESCUBIERTO
Over 40 # 3 “A pecho Descubierto” (Bare chest)
Why man can show the chest and women can not ?
Why the female breast is repressed as something that should be hidden?
Why that breastfeeding in public is frowned upon, even penalized in some parts of the world?
Why is obscene to show the women nipples and not men?
“A pecho Descubierto” defies these conventions by showing my breast without any embarrassment.

TOCANDO SUELO
Over 40 # 4 “Touching ground”
Sometimes when we feel so bad, we say that our mood is on the floor. Sometimes life is beyond me and my body asks me to throw myself to the ground, others times I find rest and tranquility on the floor (I guess I’m on the countryside, the beach …). It gives me another perspective.
