Photographer Helen Van Meene

 
Hey girls!

Helen van Meene is a Dutch photographer. I was originally taken with her photos because she chooses to only photograph girls and women (which I thought was appropriate for GEV!). Her subjects either already know her or are people she befriends. Sometimes she chooses to photograph them repeatedly, documenting their growth. She does not create candid shots- it is very clear that their poses are carefully planned and executed. Helen van Meene plays around with a sort of muted light and a lot of the younger girls she photograph seem sad or emotionally contained. What do you think she is trying to convey?
