“Most coming-of-age stories tend to emphasise dialogue or internal monologue over action,” Tom says. “This series is a portrait of wonder and intimacy.” Working collaboratively with the stylist, the pair have pieced together their shared experiences of the same cultural phenomena and iconic fashion trends, despite their disparate upbringings -- Tom in Israel, Zoey in New Zealand -- to create something genuinely special.
“In most of the people I shoot I find my own coming-of-age story reflected back,” Tom says. “Flashback images of me in my room listening to music on my headphones, building stuff, playing video games, as well as spending hours outdoors playing with my friends or just by myself staring at other people for hours.” Shot over the past year, the slowness of this project can be felt throughout.
Beyond their narrative, these images are simple and beautiful. “It is important for me to show the story of adolescence, as a boy and adult, as it is, without having to embellish it,” Tom adds. “This allows me to show the power of the sensitive side of masculinity.”
