Cult of boys

This spellbinding scrapbook is one artist's tribute to androgynous waifs and tomboy dreamers. A fashion photographer for clients like Dazed & Confused and Alexander McQueen, Toyin Ibidapo records more than 250 boys and girls over 15 years in her own room. Each subject is a friend; model and artist collaborate in the creative process. The results are intimate and real. We watch these naïve protagonists explore who they are - and who they might become. Although each picture is carefully composed, the mood is uncontrived. The results: delicate portraits with a sincerity often missing from images of the young and beautiful. Coltish and charming, this true labour of love captures the raw vulnerability of adolescence.
