Photographer Ari Seth Cohen has presented his photos of fashionistas aging gracefully at his blog Advanced Style for more than ten years. More recently, he collected photographs and stories from older couples into the book Advanced Love.
And just where did he find so many amazing partners? “[By] scouting the streets like I always do,” he says, “but this time around I had submissions from Facebook and Instagram as well. I was also able to finally include many of the partners of women I had already photographed.” When it came time to ask about something as personal as love, he says he was pleasantly surprised to hear so “many of the couples speak about their sex lives and the struggles they face. They were all very open and honest about the fact that long lasting relationships take a lot of work. “
