Description"The images in Blake Fitch’s series capture her sister, cousin, and friends as they have grown from children to young adults. These images study the physical and emotional changes in the adolescent phase of a girl’s life in America. Fitch has been able to draw out an autobiographical aspect of photography by creating candid and intimate images of her family, and has also found a way to look back at her teenage years from an adult perspective."
