Photos have the power to shape, reinforce, and change our perceptions. Join our global community of professional photographers and help us build a more inclusive world.
Positive representations help us form connections, enhance self-esteem, and send powerful messages about one’s value in society. Noun Project is working to make inclusive, art-quality images available for all through Noun Project Photos — a curated, mission-driven collection of images from photographers around the world.
Noun Project is looking for images that showcase inclusivity people over 50 living full, active and well-rounded lives, especially with multiethnic groups and BIPOC. More images of people over 50 living vibrant lives will help counter stereotypes about aging and to bring visibility to how people in this age group actually live.
Within Dynamic Aging, we would love to see images that celebrate diversity and intersectionality including:
- People in the LGBTQ community
- People with disabilities
- Various body sizes
- People with tattoos
- People of various ages, racial backgrounds and perspectives interacting
