Collin LaFleche




At School, 2007



Henry Holding Emily, 2007




Will and Alex, 2007




Ray in Prospect Park, 2007


"In December of 2006 I met Will and his group of friends, who grew up in New York and had known each other for most of their lives. At the time they were in their Senior Year of high school. These images were taken throughout the year that followed, and document a time of transition from adolescence into adulthood: the end of high school, the last summer together, and the move on to college."

If I had to pick a photographer to represent my generation I would pick Collin LaFleche. He is close to my age and that inspires me. I think he transcends all the snapshot kids. I am blown away by the romance of these pictures. More greatness on his website here.

    I enjoy these too. Not because they remind me of high school in any way, but because of the romance you mentioned. New York high school must be a completely different world from Iowa high school.

    I checked out this Collin LaFleche guy, and I really like his photos. They're much more familiar-feeling than any other photographs I've seen, like I understand more his...point of view, something or other, than I do with other photographers.
