ABSTRACT
Lauren Greenfield has taken some amazing photographs. Have you seen the picture of a 15-year-old girl pressing her breasts together to create cleavage? It’s on the cover of Girl Culture (Greenfield, 2002). Or how about the picture of two convertibles full of teenagers trying to be seen and trying to see others? It’s on the cover of Fast Forward: Growing Up in the Shadow of Hollywood (Greenfield, 1997). Because of such pictures of youthful culture, American Photo magazine calls Greenfield one of the top twenty-five photojournalists and documentary photographers (American Photo staff, 2005). In 2006 she came out with a new book, Thin (Greenfield, 2006), and a documentary film with the same name was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006.
