Catherine Grant, Baby Butches and Reluctant Lolitas: Performances of Adolescence Collier Schorr and Hellen van Meene are contemporary photographers who are both known for their seductive, glossy portraits of adolescent girls, coming to prominence in the 1990s with a number of other women photographers who focus on the adolescent in their photography. Their portraits play with traditional voyeuristic modes of looking, with the older female photographer taking the place of the voyeuristic male and the model taking the place of 'Lolita'. Catherine Grant considers the performances that take place in their photographs, addressing issues of 'queer' looking and the construction of a sexualised identity. Examples from the history of photography are brought in, including EJ Bellocq's portraits of prostitutes from the 1910s and Karlheinz Weinberger's portraits of biker boys from the 1950s.
