Photographer Joseph Szabo's book "American Teen" features timeless black-and-white portraits of high-school students from the 1970s and 1980s, capturing the intimacy and camaraderie of adolescence. The images, taken while Szabo was teaching photography at Malverne High School on Long Island, showcase the distinctive fashion styles of the era, including feathered hair, high-waisted jeans, and platform shoes. Despite the nostalgic elements, the photos also convey a sense of universality, highlighting the enduring themes of teenage life, such as friendship, rebellion, and self-expression, which continue to resonate with audiences today, including filmmaker Sofia Coppola, who has been captivated by Szabo's work.
