Cult of boys

This spellbinding scrapbook is one artist's
tribute to androgynous waifs and tomboy
dreamers. A fashion photographer for clients
like Dazed & Confused and Alexander
McQueen, Toyin Ibidapo records more than
250 boys and girls over 15 years in her own
room. Each subject is a friend; model and
artist collaborate in the creative process. The
results are intimate and real. We watch these
naïve protagonists explore who they are -
and who they might become. 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, this true labour of love captures
the raw vulnerability of adolescence.
