Congratulations Liz! Lost Boys on CNN
You may have met Liz if you’ve popped in our studio, been to one of our client parties, taken our Photo 101 class, or seen her as a photographer on a job with us! Liz has been helping us out for almost two years and we are so thrilled for her as CNN World publishes her personal fine art project, “Lost Boys” this week on their photo blog!
Liz Calvi began her series Lost Boys when she returned back to her hometown of West Hartford, CT. Looking to connect with others in similar situations she began photographing a group of boys that she knew from high school. Over time she noticed more boys sticking around their parent’s homes longer than girls. Liz started photographing boys outside her group of friends to examine gender identity in regards to our current economic state and the relationship gender identity has in regards to the American Dream.
Liz graduated with her BFA in photography from University of Hartford in 2012. Prior to that she spent three years at Pratt Institute and worked in New York City. She currently exhibits her fine art and does commission work. Liz is secretary of Connecticut’s chapter of ASMP and gave a lecture at Connecticut’s Historical Society this past spring.
