In|Between: The Tween Transition
Giving a Voice to a Generation of Transformation.
Empowering Youth at the Crossroads: Photography
Project Captures the Tween Experience.
In|Between is a photography project that captures youth ages 9-14 at the crossroads of childhood and adulthood,
navigating transformation, growth, and challenges. This project empowers young people to share their unique stories—hobbies,
talents, struggles, and triumphs—through a photography experience that will help solidify their identity and build
confidence. By putting their narrative in their own hands, In|Between reshapes how the world
sees this age group, offering authentic representation through a photo
exhibit and documentary film.
Giving a Voice to a Generation that is Often Misrepresented.
The In|Between project focuses on the critical age of 9-14, a phase often overlooked, misunderstood, or misrepresented in media.
We are giving these youth the opportunity to tell their own stories. This transformative experience will help shape
their identity, elevate their confidence, and build a foundation of self-love that will last a lifetime.
Fine Art Photography Exhibit
The first step of the In|Between project was the photo shoot. Each participant came to the studio, where they were photographed
for the still image exhibit. These portraits provide a glimpse into who they are right now—at this very moment in
their lives. The youth were actively involved in deciding what they wanted their image to convey and
how they wanted to be seen. They received hair, makeup, and styling to ensure their images were a true
representation of their identity. From the shoot, each participant selected the image that
would be displayed in the exhibit, giving them full control over how their story is told.
