Background

edit

I Heart Girl was the follow-up to Yatrofsky’s first photography monograph I Heart Boy. The young female subjects of I Heart Girl represent a spectrum of masculine, feminine and androgynous traits.[3] Yatrofsky presents a new vision of contemporary female culture that strays far outside of what would be considered conventional gender identities.[4]
