The subjects of Barely Exposed were asked, "How do you see your world?" The book offers a subtle yet probing answer in visual likenesses of contemporary young people; impressions of their budding lives in their own words; visions of what they imagine, fear, and hope the world might be for them. Each image captures its subject in a single, embodied moment, and each accompanying statement reveals how that person chose to define him or herself in the world. Latana photographed the young people half dressed against a black background, removing parts of their clothing or exterior, in order to reveal their essences. When that approach was not possible, she focused on the intimacy of their eyes. The result is a powerful, multifaceted portrait of the state of the world today — and of those who will leave their mark on it.

CAGnSB,

This review is from: Barely Exposed: How Do You See the World? (Hardcover)
I love Latana's photography. It's haunting, mysterious, and yes in this case a bit provocative. I especially love to get a glimpse into the mind of those many VERY attractive young adults. My children are older now but that age ( roughly between 14-25 ) was such an amazing time of discovery. I would love to see a follow up in a few years. I gave about 4 books as gifts so far and it was always a wonderful item to get an interesting conversation started. " From the mouth of babe's".....Thank-You for producing my favorite art photography books that is in our collection.

'Barely Exposed' forced me to peak at vulnerabilities which I fight to stifle. It reminds me that it is exactly those honest vulnerabilities which make me strong.
