Teenagers

In a society obsessed with youth culture have we lost track of who our young people are anymore and what opportunities to define themselves still remain at this complex age?

Young people today enter a consumer-focused society, which continually looks to market their best attributes whilst offering spurious role models and visual references from empty celebrities, airbrushed images, plastic surgery and reality television.

I want to look at people who have only ever known this world as they begin a journey of self-discovery between childhood and being an adult.

This first series looks a group of Cornish teenagers and is a starting point for a broader investigation.
