Photographer
Joanna Pinneo
Concept
More than a decade ago, acclaimed National Geographic photographer Joanna Pinneo began interviewing and photographing girls throughout the United States. Pinneo’s work developed into Grrlstories, a documentation of the lives of contemporary girls. In 2003, Pinneo established Grrlstories,org, a national portal for girls ages 9-15.
