20 Over 40, Dublin — Twenty women. Forty and over. Each marking something this year.

Photographed October 2026 onward. Exhibition at Ace Enterprise Park to follow.

What is it

The 20 Over 40 Portrait Experience is for women who want to be seen.

You’ve lived, learned, grown, and changed. Now is the time to stop and recognize who you are today.

This experience gives you that space.

This is more than photography — it’s your long-delayed vindication. A chance to be seen, to reclaim your beauty, poise, pride. A portrait session that proves: You’ve not faded. You’ve arrived.

My Promise to You

This is not just about photographs. It’s about finally seeing the woman you’ve become — and loving her.

Why It Matters

Your life didn’t pause at 40. It kept going — with new goals, new challenges, and new versions of you.

You’ve done the hard work. You’ve earned the right to be proud of yourself.

This is not just about photos. It’s about giving yourself credit.

Who It’s For

Women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.

You might be starting fresh. Or slowing down. Or hitting your stride.

Whatever stage you’re in, this is a chance to stop, look at yourself, and say, “I’m still here — and I look good.”

What Women Say

Many women come in nervous. They leave stronger.

Some haven’t liked a photo of themselves in years. Then they see what we create together.

The result is more than an image. It’s a reminder of confidence, strength, and self-respect.

What to Expect

We guide you from start to finish. You don’t have to know how to pose or prepare.

We’ll handle the details. You’ll focus on being yourself.

Step 1: Consultation

We meet to talk about your style, your preferences, and what you want from the experience.

You’ll get advice on what to bring and how to prepare.

Step 2: Makeup

A professional makeup artist will work with you to create a natural and flattering look.

You’ll feel polished, not hidden.

Step 3: Photoshoot

You’ll be guided every step of the way.

Salvatore will direct you into poses that work. He’ll adjust the lighting and angles.

You’ll feel at ease — and it will show in your photos.

Step 4: Reveal, the same day

You don’t come back another day. After the shoot you have a short break, about fifteen to twenty minutes, while I prepare your portraits. Then we sit down together and look at them on the screen. This is the part most women remember. You choose in the room, while you still feel it.

What You Get

• Your session, makeup included
• Guided by me from the first minute to the last
• Your reveal the same day
• One fine-art print to keep
• A written feature about you and your portrait, published and yours to share
• Your portrait in the 20 Over 40 exhibition at Ace Enterprise Park

€200 to take part.

At your reveal you choose how far to take it. Keep the print that is already yours, or take ten of your portraits with your digital files for €1,400, with your €200 taken off. Nothing is decided until you have seen your portraits.

Bring your mother or your daughter into the frame if you’d like. Pairs are welcome and the exhibition shows you together.

Twenty places. The project closes when they’re filled.

What Makes It Special

You don’t have to do this for anyone else.

Do it for yourself.

The prints are yours to keep. Display them in your home. Share them with your family. Or tuck them away for the days you need a reminder of who you are.

You don’t have to know how to pose or be “photogenic” — I’ll guide you every step so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

Who We’re Looking For

Twenty women, 40 and over, each marking something this year: a birthday, a new chapter, a business, a return to yourself.

To take part you agree to a short written interview before and after your session, to behind-the-scenes photos on the day, and to your portrait and story being shown in the exhibition and shared by the studio.

Women afraid of the camera who discovered strength instead.

A tribute to women embracing life in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.

Salvatore and his team made sure that I am comfortable in my own skin. They provided valuable suggestions. They really contributed to an outstanding end result. All my professional engagements include the photo Salvatore tool!”

I would recommend Salvatore for your business photos. He produces high quality photos. But most importantly he makes you feel at ease when taking your photo, and the end result looks really professional. I have received positive comments about my linkedin photo, and website photo.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Salvatore Di Martino for a mother-daughter portrait session, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. Neither my daughter nor I are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Salvatore’s warm and professional demeanour instantly put us at ease. The photos turned out beautifully—better than I could have imagined!
I was so impressed that I engaged him to take professional photos for our staff team as well. Once again, Salvatore exceeded expectations. He was professional, approachable, and made the experience enjoyable for everyone. The feedback from my team was glowing.
If you’re looking for a talented photographer who can create stunning photos while making the process feel effortless, I highly recommend Salvatore.

Salvatore isn’t just an incredible photographer; he creates an experience that makes you feel truly seen and at ease. From the very first consultation, his warmth, kindness, and professionalism shone through. On the day of the shoot, he and the amazing makeup artist, Louise, made me feel completely comfortable and confident. I usually shy away from the camera, but this was different. I actually enjoyed it. The photos are stunning, and for the first time in a long time, I’m genuinely happy to have pictures of myself. Highly recommend Salvatore for anyone looking for not just great photos but a truly empowering experience!

I had a great experience with Salvatore for my photo session.  He made me feel very welcome and helped me relax with ease. His guidance throughout the session for posing etc was very clear.  The resulting photos are stunning, even if I do say so myself. I never thought I could look so good.  I would thoroughly recommend Salvatore if you are considering getting photos taken

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently had the pleasure of working with Salvatore Di Martino Photography for a portrait photo shoot, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Salvatore's comprehensive package includes everything you could possibly need: a hair and makeup pre-consultation, a second consultation to refine the shoot's direction, and a final review of the photos. His attention to detail is impeccable, with music, snacks, drinks, and everything in between to make the session enjoyable and relaxing.

As someone who doesn't typically enjoy having their photo taken, Salvatore made me feel completely at ease. His professionalism and warm personality turned what could have been a stressful experience into something truly enjoyable. The final photos perfectly capture the various aspects of my life for both professional use on LinkedIn and personal use across my social media.

If you're looking for professional portrait photos but feel a bit out of your comfort zone, Salvatore is the man for you. I can't recommend him enough.

You won't be disappointed!

What an wonderful experience and the most amazing results. Salvatore is a true professional with the human touch. Does what needs to be done and makes the whole experience enjoyable and comfortable. Salvatore works with an amazing make up artist Lou @louloudunner,  She is engaging, funny, puts you at ease and is so professional. With Salvatore and Lou it all makes for an all round amazing experience. Would highly recommend both.

I am not very comfortable in front of a camera, and I am not part of today’s selfie culture 😂 I have quite a few insecurities, probably not very different from so many other women. Salvatore embraced me and my story with such patience and understanding that made me completely forget about all my doubts. He is calm, and beautifully subtle, and 100% professional - and I am so happy to look at the woman on the final prints. I see my “old” me but also a shy new side that peeks out and wants to be discovered. Thank you, Salvatore for this empowering experience. I can only recommend! 👍🏻

I met Salvatore through Louise Dunne, the make-up artist. The entire process of make-up, photoshoot and choosing the final photos was seamless, efficient and very enjoyable! Salvatore had the final proofs within 3 days. I now have headshots that I love for my business. I would highly recommend Salvatore.
