Danielle Levitt's We Are Experienced Danielle Levitt in conjunction with powerHouse Books is set to release a book of photos entitled We Are Experienced. I've just flipped through the PDF version sent by the publisher and the pics are amazing. Remmeber how important you thought everything was when you were a teenager? How invested in everything you were? Levitt nails it. "Danielle Levitt arrived at her distinctive photographic style capturing street fashion, pop culture, and celebrity for countless publications. While producing this commercial work, Levitt also pursued her passion for documenting American youth. The result is We Are Experienced, Levitt's first monograph, a series of portraits depicting adolescents in a variety of urban, suburban, and rural settings, as individuals and in groups, loaded with signifiers both mainstream and marginal." "We Are Experienced includes football stars, anorexics, wiccans, punks, prom dates, snowboarders, and baton twirlers. Levitt revels in the beauty of the age and its incomparable potential." Read more here. There's an interview at the beginning of the book with the photographer by none other than Marc Jacobs. Don't forget to checkout Levitt's MySpace for more photos of her work. And you won't want to miss the launch party for the book at Deitch on 10.29.08. See you there! We Are Experienced
