A 91-year-old grandmother has donned a cape and spandex to become her superhero alter-ego Super Mamika.
Sacha Goldberger, a 41-year-old French photographer, had the idea four years ago after his Hungarian-born grandmother Frederika became lonely and started to show signs of depression.
"It started as a way for us to spend time together", he said.
"We have always been very close and she would often stay with me. I was wondering how to find a way to make her happy."
"The first pictures were of her wearing a red helmet with a white star on it. I asked her to put it on and she started to pose," he said.
She has been photographed scaling buildings, and speeding around town in her Grandma Mobile.
