Synopsis
Award-winning photographer Lauren Greenfield author of Girl Culture captures the sometimes shocking, always startling images of children and teenagers in the relentlessly fast-lane city of Los Angeles in Fast Forward: Growing up in the Shadow of Hollywood. 80 stunning colour photographs and numerous first-person accounts explore the range of youth experience in the Southland, from the children of the gang culture of South Central and East L.A. to the affluent, often "industry" (show biz)-related and obsessed world of the Westside. But the barrier between the two cultures is a porous one, evident in how the white and ethnic, rich and poor mingle in the street (namely the Strip), fashion, and the hyperactive media culture of LA. The overwhelming prevalence of image and celebrity, with its materialistic trappings of fast cars and expensive clothes, pervades this now-classic and much sought-after work by a real rising star photographer.
