Love Photography? Check Out The Girl Project

If you’re a budding photographer and want the opportunity to share your unique, visual perspective with the world, you need to know about The Girl Project.

Through The Girl Project, founder Kate Engelbrecht is sending thousands of disposable cameras across the country to girls ages 13-18 and asking them to document themselves and their view of the world around them. The collection of images will be edited into a cohesive body of work to be viewed in book and exhibition formats – each revealing unseen truths about teenage girls and our culture.

Here’s the scoop from The Girl Project website:

Participation in The Girl Project is FREE. All we need from you is your time and creativity. Your photographs tell the story. Shoot what and who you want. Shoot close-up or from far away. Use the film to photograph 1 or 36 subjects. Take pictures of people, things or landscapes. Take self portraits. Use the camera to express your feelings and thoughts – happy, sad, angry or indifferent. Be thoughtful or careless, formal or informal, traditional or experimental, literal or symbolic. Photography is a visual way to communicate your ideas and opinions to the world.
