Nicole Lesser

Friendship and familiarity form the foundation for Nicole Lesser‘s intimate photographs. The women in her work, often pictured in various states of undress, are so comfortable with Lesser’s gaze they fully drop their defenses and personify nonchalance. It all feels like a rare behind the scenes glimpse into a highly specific time in these girls’ lives. From an interview with Fjord:

I am at the age where I want to find out who I want to be, and I see my companions going through the same thing. These photographs are my personal sentiments, intimate portraits and daily snapshots of my life and those I am intrigued by.
