BROUGHT TO YOU BY GRAY THAM
Creator of the 50 & Wiser Club, Wise Women 2024, Wise Women 2025, and now Wise Women 2026 a movement dedicated to celebrating and empowering women through powerful storytelling and portraiture.
Gray, an award-winning Melbourne Photographer, has photographed hundreds of women over the age of 40 and she can’t wait to shine the light on you.
WHAT DO OUR WISE WOMEN SAY?
“I do not like having my photo taken - especially when they are formal posed photos. However, my experience with Gray may have changed my thinking on that. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and has loads of handy tips for bringing out your best features and embracing your worst. And the photos ... words are not enough. I know it's me, it looks like me ... but is that me? Thank you, Gray, for helping me through this process, which was a pleasure rather than the chore it usually is."
- Kellie Nissen, 50 & Wiser Club
“Gray is super organised, professional as well as easy-going, fun, and encouraging. She makes you feel comfortable to work with and is flexible and adaptable in her space. Her talent is bringing out the best in you whilst keeping energy levels up. I highly recommend Gray for any professional photos and to apply to be a part of her Wise Women Project. The experience is a journey and no doubt a gift that will keep on giving long after your photoshoot is complete.”
- Baci Hillyer, Wise Women 2024
“I was privileged to be part of the 50 & Wiser Club. I spoke to Gray on the phone during the application process, and she quickly put my fear of being photographed at ease. She was so good at making me feel relaxed and myself during the photo session. The photos are definitely a family treasure for my family and posterity. I highly recommend Gray to photo you!”
- Sherri Dumbrell, 50 & Wiser Club
“As a rule, I avoid photos of myself, so I was worried about doing a photoshoot… But Gray helped a somewhat reluctant subject to relax into the experience & even manage to have some fun 😊 Thank you, Gray, I am delighted with the experience & the photos!”
- Sally Lean, Wise Women 2024
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For my 50th, I was photographed in New York City by the Portrait Madame herself, Alice Prenat.
I was anxious.
I didn’t lose the 5 kilos.
I tried a new beauty product and had spots on my face.
I had to drive to NYC myself, park and find a hotel.
The investment was high, hello $USD.
I was downright scared, and I know how to pose!I was hoping Alice would see past my flaws and bring out my strengths.
OMG … those nerves melted away and I had an amazing experience. I walked out of that session feeling empowered and inspired. I even had lunch by myself in the city. Now I have images I adore. I use them in my marketing and I have a legacy box full of images I can look at when I am not feeling my best. They remind me of what an incredible woman I truly am. That wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t been photographed.And, my kids will have these beautiful images of me in the future alongside those awful (but fun) iPhone Selfies with our dog. We need to build the legacy we want to leave.
I proved to myself I was on the right path. I am so honoured that I can give this same gift to other women that Alice gave to me.
So if you are nervous. I hear you. And I have your back!
