Three Teens “The longer I spent with Toby, JD, and Gus, the less interested I became in the usual narratives about young people,” writes Alec Soth on Three Teens, a new series on the youth of Minneapolis, made in collaboration with FUJIFILM. “What stayed with me was their capacity for friendship, love, invention, and self-definition.” © Alec Soth / Magnum Photos
