# Elderly Modeling Lars Botten Captures the Sparkle in Old and Young By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-08-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elderly-modeling-lars-botten References: [larsbotten](http://www.larsbotten.com/Sequence.aspx?id=39&subid=31#) Lars Botten shot this spectacular [photo series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) entitled “Women” that depicts an elderly woman with a younger girl who look remarkably similar (perhaps they are granddaughter and granmother?). The Botten shots are so crisp and fresh, and his eye for [photographing people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio) helps to channel the spark in both the elderly woman’s eyes and the younger girl’s eyes as well.
