Instagram Takeover: Molly Matalon

Guest editor on our takeover this week is Molly Matalon. Molly is a photographer dealing with issues of desire, idealization, and power dynamics.

Molly was born and raised in South Florida. She received her BFA in photography from The School of Visual Arts in New York City. Her work fixes a gaze that empowers and provides a rarely seen female photographic viewpoint. The sincere and personal language seen in her work is carried through into her editorial work and can be seen in The New York Times, M Le Monde, Interview Magazine, and Wallpaper*.
