About this series

Chloe Aftel views each girl as having a story to tell. Each photograph gives a strong focus and an insight into someone’s cinematic life story. These intimate and sensitive portraits seem to capture these young women’s understanding of themselves.

Through her lens, the photographer gives each girl a room of one’s own.
