For nearly thirty years, Melissa Ann Pinney has been photographing
girls and women, from infancy to old age, to portray how feminine
identity is constructed, taught, and communicated. Pinney's work
depicts not only the rites of American womanhood but also the
informal passages of girlhood and adolescence. With each view -
from solitary subjects in pensive moments to complex family and
social situations - the audience gains a richer understanding of
the connections between a daughter and her parents, grandparents,
and the larger world of friends and society. The pictures also
reflect the ways in which a girl's world in 2010 differs from the
world Pinney knew growing up in the 1960s, and the ways in which
the making of a person can transcend time and place. "Girl
Ascending" is a sequel to Pinney's widely praised first book,
"Regarding Emma: Photographs of American Women and Girls". Of that
previous book Janina Ciezaldo wrote in "Aperture", "Pinney brings
compositional integrity, knowledge of color, and a Midwestern
richness of light to her inquiries." This second volume is even
more accomplished, mature, and stylistically consistent. As David
Travis writes in his introduction, "Pinney has regained that sense
of wonder, making her view of girls ascending into young women both
believable and enchanting." Pinney's photographs are powerful and
insightful. As social and artistic documents, they reveal the
subtle and bold aspects of feminine identity as it is expressed in
American places and spaces, both private and public.
