Big winner of the annual competition Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize with his picture Five Girls, photographer David Stewart focused on the modern and connected youth, through a book Teenage Pre-Occupation (published at Browns Editions). He explores the teenagers and their lifestyles in all their confusion and fascination.

The fact of being surrounded by young people (his daughter, his sons and their friends) helped him in his sociological approach. He describes them as “subjects (who) are insecure, looking for something to follow or not, to fit in or not, weighed down by technology, anti-social networkers, obsessed with what other people are doing”.
