GoKawiilEva Verbeeck publishes six-year photo project on American girlhood
Belgian photographer Eva Verbeeck spent six years traveling through 28 U.S. states to photograph more than 400 girls aged 8 to 18, shooting on analog film. Each girl was invited to bring an object of personal significance for her portrait, and the resulting images make up a new book, America's Girls, On the Edge of a Dream, published by GOST Books. Verbeeck says the project grew out of her childhood fascination with American teenage life as seen through magazines and pop culture while growing up in rural Belgium.
