Yann Rabanier Captures the Robotic Quality of Adolescents

As though continually capturing the climatic moment in a movie, France-based photographer Yann Rabanier has put together an eerie photo series centered on teenagers.

Appropriately titled 'Teenage,' there is a robotic feeling to each of these images, as though Yann Rabanier believes that all adolescents are drones, simply copycats of each other. A clever concept, I believe he does somewhat capture one of the overriding essences of trying to fit in while also finding yourself.
