Olivia Bee is a Brooklyn-based teen photographer prodigy. She shot a campaign for Converse aged just 15, has since shot campaigns for Nike and Hermes among others, and has done a TED talk. Sorry if this has made you feel like an under achiever.
I feel totally absorbed by the pictures...a mixture of real life, documentary and art. They've got that trendy indy filter feel that is saturating social media and tumblrs at the moment..but there's something a bit more effortless and natural about it. I think that's because the photos are of real moments. Her 'Lovers' series is made up simply from photos of her friends. The other pictures I've posted are from her 'Humanless' series and 'Dreams'. Each photo stands completely effectively on its own though - maybe that's what makes them so good. The series titles are perfect fits in terms of logical grouping but each picture speaks for itself.
