Old Stock New Stock is an ongoing photography project which combats the stereotypical imagery of older people and retirement in stock photography. Working with photographer Joe Smith and facilitator Chelsea Morgan, a series of portraits were developed that showcased their interests and challenged society’s perception of life in old age. From engineering experts, to daring DJs and poignant poets, meet the collaborators and their fascinating lives!
