“Younger Love” by Photographer Sean Lee
When Singapore-based photographer Sean Lee was 17 years previous, a classmate of his, Esther, handed away after a brief wrestle with an sickness. As we speak, as a part-time instructor of images in a brand new media faculty, Lee thinks typically of the times of his youth and Esther, who by no means had the prospect to develop up. These recollections turned the impetus for his collection and subsequent self-published photobook, “Younger Love.” That includes younger individuals in pairs, both greatest pals or lovers, with no distinctions, Lee’s pictures freeze time, capturing his topics within the midst of their fleeting adolescence.
“Youth is a bubble and each individual in there may be awaiting exile,” he explains. “My hope is that I’ve gotten to {photograph} them earlier than they change into strangers to 1 one other and even themselves. I typically inform my college students that images teaches us above all issues that our time right here is temporary. Maybe this work is a approach for me to say a correct goodbye to my youth, and to my good friend, Esther.”
