Pictures Of Us

Lauren Greenfield’s work is amazing. When I saw Thin at last year’s Boston Film Festival I was touched by its intimate portrait of women being treated for anorexia. It was real without being exploitive or melodramatic. Some women got better, others didn’t, which is the reality of many mental and physical diseases.

When a friend pointed me to Greenfield’s website I was impressed to find out she’s the photographer behind the book Girl Culture as well.

The Los Angeles Times sums it up best:

Lauren Greenfield chronicles the external manifestations of mainstream America’s compromised soul.
