“Today we stay younger longer and become grown up sooner,” says British photographer and filmmaker Ewen Spencer. “The success of making any sort of story around youth is to recognise that we’ve all been there at some time in our lives. Being a teenager is like a concentrated moment of the human condition.” Back in 2000, Graham Rounthwaite, then art director of ‘The Face’ (now creative director of ‘i-D’), commissioned Spencer to visit Britain’s youth clubs and photograph teenagers drinking and dancing, consumed by desire, coming of age. Now those flash-soaked snapshots are published again as ‘Young Love’: a book that captures the feeling of growing up on the edge of a new millennium, right before smart phones and Instagram and Tinder.
