Toyin Ibidapo

This spellbinding scrapbook is one artist’s tribute to androgynous waifs and tomboy dreamers. Each subject is a friend; model and artist collaborate in the creative process. A fashion photographer for clients like Dazed & Confused and Alexander McQueenToyin Ibidapo records her subjects over time in her own home.

We watch these naïve protagonists explore who they are—and who they might become. The results are intimate and real. Although each picture is carefully composed, the mood is uncontrived.

The results: delicate portraits with a sincerity often missing from images of the young and beautiful. Coltish and charming, these mesmerizing photographs capture the raw vulnerability of adolescence
