Sam Penn's first publication, Some Girls, features portraits of women she loves, her girls. The photos are inherently social, captured with an intimacy and immediacy only possible through Penn's relationships to her subjects. Taken on the beach, en route to the club, at the club, or in bed the next morning, these pictures find a way to freeze the constant movement of these New York girls.
