"American Teen" is a photobook by American photographer Joseph Szabo (1944). For approximately 30 years, starting in 1972, Szabo taught art and photography at a high school on Long Island, continuously photographing the daily lives of his students and other young people. This book is a comprehensive collection of his work, newly compiled from previously published photographs, including those from "Almost Grown" (1978) and his representative work "Teenage," focusing on teenagers from the 1970s and 80s. He naturally entered the world of young people, capturing their precocious gestures, rebellious spirit, friendships, romances, boredom, and the unguarded expressions that suddenly appear. The intimate sense of closeness that arose from sharing a long time with them as a teacher is a major appeal of Szabo's work. This comprehensive collection offers an overview of his work, which has influenced fashion, film, and youth culture in later generations, and includes texts by Sofia Coppola and Kim Gordon.
