I chose an article named The Girl Project. This is a project for young girls between the ages of 13-17. This project is for 5,000 girls of different backgrounds and to see what their daily lives consist of. This is a very difficult project to run Kate Engelbrecht the organizer of this has paid out of her own money to buy 400 camera’s only 100 have been returned. These cameras are new Kodak Max HQ 35mm single use. This project is available to girls in America.
The teen image is portrayed through what’s on television or in magazines that’s what people think of teens as well there not! Teens aren’t what we see on television for example the hills or gossip girl those are edited to show the drama parts teens don’t go through that every day yes once in a while but a regular teen doesn’t have those problems every day.
So Far 100 cameras have been returned and the photographs they received are of teens and their friends. The girl liked to shoot text that was maybe on a poster or billboard. The text included words that the teens felt meaningful/ inspirational to them. It was nothing compared to shows or articles on a typical teen. So as the process continues we will see how it turns out who knows maybe this will change the way people think of teen girls.
