Michelle Sank: Coming of Age

Much of the work of the British photographer Michelle Sank has focused on the complex and volatile period of adolescence. In the absence of any universally recognised coming-of-age rituals, the transition from child to adult finds expression through modes of dress, social behaviour, and body image. Her portraits achieve a delicate balance between dignity and disclosure. No judgment is made. We meet each subject as an individual. What connects them is a time of life, a crossing from one state of being to another, which each of us negotiates in our own way. This is the ordinary recognised for its very extraordinariness.

Michelle Sank discusses her approach to environmental portraiture at Talking Pictures.
