is a fine art photographer that has a very unique style on one of my favourite projects "Teenage Stories" which explores the transition of young girls into womanhood. She explores this idea with the girls miniaturising their surroundings becoming the main focus of the photo. This shows the girls losing their innocence and becoming away of adult life leaving childhood behind and becoming a women. in the photos the girls show no real emotion almost like their in a dream like they are not really there just existing in their confusing transition from child to adult girl to woman. I particularly like this photographer because she deliberately avoids models and chooses random girls, this creates a more unique style because it exposes the slight awkwardness they have with the camera which makes the photos more believable and real. They also make it easier to relate with how the girls are feeling because it's not so posed its very natural.She has done many other projects but this one is my favourite because it is a very unique way of exploring transitions we all go through form child to adult.
