Review ------ “In a world in which women are frequently shown how they should look―and look at themselves―Collins wants the images in Babe to change that dynamic by reflecting how young women see and present their own bodies.” ―Slate “[Collins’s] new book, Babe . . . represents an honest, transparent, and wholly confident femininity.” ―Interview Magazine “Babe depicts a whole range of femininities, from women laying in bed complete with period-stained sheets, sext messages on dated cell phones, dimly lit s of nudity, hair, s and all . . . it is thought provoking, and most importantly, familiar.” ―The National Post // SELECTED AS ONE OF THE 10 BEST PHOTO BOOKS OF 2015 // "If the young artists in Petra Collins’ anthology are any indication, the future of photography is bright. More than 30 female photographers share the spotlight here, and though their works are stylistically diverse, they share a common mission: to take control of their own narratives, by representing themselves and their generation how they see it." ―Slate.com “Striking imagery as whimsical and free as Collins herself.” ―Flare Magazine “The collection is a thought-provoking and bold exploration of identity and sexuality that is all too rare to see . . . I flipped to the contributor section . . . and followed every artist on Instagram―I want to see more of their work, whatever form it takes in the future.” ―Bitch Magazine “The underlying ethos of Babe appears to be that idea that young women―pimples, periods, diets, insecurities and all―are worthy of love, from others, and from themselves . . . It raises [hope].” ―Photo District News “The sense of community between the women anthologized in Babe is apparent, and Petra makes it clear that her ability to achieve a level of artistic independence, devoid of patriarchal aesthetics, is thanks to the support she receives from fellow female artists.” —Huffington Post Read more ( javascript:void(0) )
