Entry Description: The series Right After documents the everyday lives of a group of teenagers I met in December 2006. The resulting photographs, from the year following, capture their transition into adulthood—the end of high school, the last summer together, and the move on to college—and within it, the banality of adolescence. It is found amongst the awkward, arbitrary, and disjointed instances of social sparring, sexual exploration, vulnerability, and rebelliousness that shape and define coming of age. Always apparent, yet never directly addressed, it shows itself only in the silent, in-between moments, when these teens are alone with themselves.

Collin LaFleche graduated with a BFA in Photography from the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU in 2009. Since then he has been featured in numerous online and print publications and has exhibited at Envoy Enterprises, ClampArt Gallery, and the Detroit Center for Contemporary Photography, to name a few. His photography focuses on long-term, documentary projects that explore both the excitement and monotony of the everyday, in his own life and the lives of others. He is currently working on a four-year project with a group of Brooklyn teenagers. He lives and works in New York.
