Lauren Greenfield - Girl Culture.

after studying the work of Lauren Greenfield during my first year of college i became specifically fascinated by Girl Culture. Girl Culture is made up of a series of award-winning photographs that show an in depth insight into the private rituals and social lives of young American girls. the photographs are revealing, insightful and sometimes disturbing, they provide a window into the secret worlds of self-obsessed, lonely, emotionally-confused girls in their attempts to "fit in".

the book contains not only extraordinary photographs but interviews and diary extracts from the girls. these gripping extracts not only add a more personal element to the photographs but they add an element of emotion and sadness that these young girls reveal the exhibitionist nature of modern femininity and how far its has drifted from the feminine ideologies of the past.
