When you’re an acne-prone, angst ridden 15-year-old, the idea of having your portrait taken, let alone sitting still for longer than five minutes, is equivalent to having teeth pulled with a monkey wrench.
In his exhibition ‘80/137 Faces’, Photographer Simon Obarzanek somehow manages to both capture teens on camera, and keep them in the one spot long enough to reveal hidden spirit under a tough outer shell.
This is a visual study of the awkward years, the years that you’d rather not have on camera, but the years that reflect the poignant transition from naïve youth to independent adulthood.
