"Olivia Bee is celebrated for her dreamy, evocative portraits and landscapes rich with implied narratives of intimacy, freedom, and adventure. Her first book, "Kids in Love" showcases two bodies of photographic work. "Enveloped in a Dream" is the series that first brought Bee recognition as a teenager. It offers a visual diary of girlhood friendship and the exploration of self, showcasing the photographer's unique ability to convey the bittersweet nostalgia of adolescence on the brink of adulthood and new possibilities. The second body of work, "Kids in Love", is drawn from recent work and continues Bee's chronicle of her circle of friends and new loves, capturing both the pleasures and terrors of the fleeting passage of romanticized youth. "Rookie" editor and Bee's frequent collaborator and model, Tavi Gevinson writes about the role of Bee's photographs as social currency in today's image-driven world". A brand new, most handsome example of the first printing of this charming edition additionally BOLDLY SIGNED by Olivia Bee with drawings of two hearts in silver marker and Tavi Gevinson in black ink on the title page. 1-59711-345-X Inventory Number: 025493
