PROM
The Prom project includes Mary Ellen Mark's photographs taken at various high school proms around the United States, along with interviews of these same subjects edited into a short film by Martin Bell

The portraits were made with the 20x24 Polaroid camera and each print is unique.
The project will eventually be presented as a book and exhibition.

Thanks to the schools that allowed us to photograph and film their students.
