#girlgaze

Amanda de Cadenet blazes a new trail for women image makers with a hip, accessible, spirited book, offering a collection of works by young up-and-coming female photographers from all over the world who capture how young women see other women, the space around them, and themselves. In a world where young women are bombarded with overfiltered selfies and skewed perceptions of what it is to be a girl, #girlgaze is a powerful collection of deeply authentic images that show how young women photographers perceive the world. The book weaves together candid and formal photos of women living their lives: capturing their friends and loved ones; creating gorgeous portraits of the people they admire; and catching a significant moment on city streets, remote countrysides, in their war-torn countries, or intimately at home. The book includes contributions by real-world visionaries, whether in fashion or documentary photography, in front of the camera or behind it. Spirited and inspiring, #girlgaze is sure to appeal to photography fans and women of all ages.
