1.) Olivia Bee's photo book is entitled Kids in Love and features 2 series-- Kids in Love & Enveloped in a Dream. Bee shoots in color and black and white film. Her work includes portraits, self-portraits, landscapes, and more.
2.) Olivia Bee's photo book features two different series, however they both have to do with growth. They work together to create a nostalgic look on adolescence. "Because Kids in Love is a book about firsts— first kisses, first heartbreaks— every image within is impressed with the knowledge that these rites of passage can never be lived again. She and her friends exist as if inside a confidential and precarious bubble that inevitably bursts the instant the photo is taken. Nostalgia for Bee is like a drug, it’s that imminent sense of loss that amplifies the volume on her otherwise hushed encounters."
Her photos are described as a look into the mind of a teenager. The self-portraits are a wa,y that as a teen, she learned to trust herself and a reminder of memories easily forgotten, but that at the time feel dramatic.
3.)Bee's photo book does a great job of treating moments happening now feel like memories. Nostalgia is something, I think, my generation is obsessed with. She captures the in between moments, things that don't feel as important. Between the two series, the style and subject matter seem to grow as the artist does.
