A photographer from Brooklyn has traveled thousands of miles to capture snapshots in the lives of teenagers around the world. 

Amy Touchette visited  New York, Hawaii and Tokyo and found that far from things dividing communities and cultures, ethnicity, gender, age and class, there was joy to be had in the things that united youngsters worldwide.

Touchette found shared traces of humanity in the most mundane every-day occurrences, from relationships between  family and friends, to the way people gather and act collectively on the street. 

Whether it's enjoying life and caring for our young: it's all wonderfully similar no matter the location.  

Touchette wandered around taking pictures of teenagers from 13 to 19-years-old. They were asked for consent before their pictures were taken.

After returning back to Brooklyn, distinct patterns became clear to Touchette and she began to pair up the pictures into distinct themes with a mixture of group and solo portraits. 

'After observing so much diversity, I started wanting to connect the patterns I saw and do one of the many things photography does best: place people from different times and places together in order to tell a new story,' Touchette said.

'Teenagers are raw adults; they are exposed to adult situations, but lack the experience and wisdom that maturity brings, and adult consequences abound. I was transfixed by the extremity of their hybrid nature, but I also simply wanted to capture what is such a distinct and fleeting time in life—the teen years—regardless of where one lives.'

A solo exhibition of The Young Series, will be on view at the California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo Gallery from February 22 to March 16.

Touchette said that she took the pictures and then looked for patterns between them that would help tell their story. A girl from O'ahu is seen, left, while a New Yorker is captured sitting on a fence in the Big Apple, right

Photographer, Touchette, went around taking similar portraits of teenagers in O'ahu, Hawaii and Tokyo to discover what teen culture looks like in three disparate island nations. Here a couple of girls are pictured in New York, left, and Tokyo, right

Teens are captured in their own worlds whether it be on the beaches of Hawaii, above and top, or on the streets of New York

Touchette writes: 'Before travel became so ubiquitous, island populations were more sequestered … their culture would reflect that isolation in that it felt more unified and unique than landlocked settings,' but from these pictures of teenage girls in New York, left, and O'ahu, there is very little that would convey their location judging by how they are dressed

In each setting, Touchette wandered the streets until she found teenagers she wanted to photograph. She would introduce herself and ask permission to make their portraits. Teens in New York are seen here, left, and in O'ahu, Hawaii, right

Once the photographing was complete, Touchette began to draw connections between the images by putting certain portraits next to each other and seeing what kind of story they told. Friends are seen in Tokyo, left and in New York, right
