Cocolada is only seventeen. Her images are gorgeous. She takes blends hazy nostalgia with punches of now and projects them so powerfully it hurts. With a preferance for 'bad quality digital cameras' and polaroid film, her photography is raw and personal. I love how detached her muses seem. It's like they don't care she's there; they'll carry on doing whatever the want. Or maybe they don't even notice her presence. Her portraits are honest, unapologetic and yet they seem so fragile. If I was this prolific at seventeen I would have done more than drink too much and talk about boys. I would have taken pictures of myself drinking too much and talking about boys.
Check out her Flickr profile and prepare yourself to be impressed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cocoladas/3223420987/
