Visible Girls

Created by photographer Anita Corbin in the early 80s, Girls ditching stereotype for subversion ! Visible Girls Revisited catches up with the women they became.

[Visible Girls @Visible_Girls]

Heads up !!! Latest interview for your perusal …head over to the Museum of Youth Culture @the_moyc find out more about why I created @Visible_Girls in the early 80s and how the portraits have had a life of their own !!!

[Museum of Youth Culture @the_moyc]

“Because my Visible Girls project focused on the young women it made them all feel really special because at the time there were hardly any pictures of girls on their own in subcultures."
