本書の写真の多くが、ファッション関係のエディトリアルのために制作されたものである。メンズファッション誌『Man About Town』に向けてスコットランドで撮影されたもの、『Doesn’t Exist』誌に載った物語のために撮ったもの...。当時、エディスはアリ・マルコポロス(Ari Marcopoulos)やコリエ・ショア(Collier Schorr)などの写真家たちにも撮影された。コリエ・ショアは本書の序文として「I don’t have a kid(私には子供がいない)」を寄稿している。
The new IDEA book is EDITH by Angela Hill. The publication comes one full year on from Hill’s sold out book SYLVIA. That first book, documenting Sylvia Mann’s adolescence with such close familiarity and understanding between the subject and the photographer, led many to assume that Sylvia was Hill’s daughter—she wasn’t—Edith Owen is.
The new book spans two decades but, again, centres around the teenage years when Edith would be Hill’s first choice, yet invariably reluctant, model. Edith Owen’s often evident displeasure at being photographed, makes EDITH a truly truthful book of adolescence. The relationship between photographer and subject is very real in this book.
In parallel to her work as a photographer, Angela is the A of IDEA — co-founder of the company.
