I began researching and studying photographers work who I admire and feel realisitcally depicts modern youth and coming of age. Sophie Klock takes portraits of tokyo’s youth in her book ‘Eight Visits’. What stands out to me about her work is the faces of the people shes photographs and their surroundings. In this particular book a lot of the images are shot inside the subjects homes which I feel creates extremely personal and comfortable photographs which reveals peoples true indentity.  As you start to study the photographs more you begin to make connections with the persons in them through the way they dress and items in their home. The subjects are often shot in natural light and the colours are very soft. This creates warm photographs and shows how the subjects have a sense of beloning and comfort in their homes. It captures people in a enviroment where they fee to be who they are truly are.

The images suggest that Sophie is a photographer who wants to capture youth in a non sterotypical way. In the composition of the photorgaphers there are a lot of items which can reveal certrain infortmation about her subjects. For example plants, lighters,cigarrettes and headphones. They truly depict how being a home is safe place and makes you want to know more about the subjects. I think the meaning behind the work is about friendship, love and being at piece with ones self in a raw and natural state.
