Tierney Gearon: Hollywood Heroines

Gearon photographs them the way nobody else gets to see them—off guard, unlit, sometimes vulnerable in ways that would never make it to the red carpet. Hollywood Heroines isn’t about the mythology; it’s about what happens when you take that away. The women she photographs are still interesting, still magnetic, but they’re also just people with skin and moods and the particular exhaustion of being watched all the time. There’s something quietly radical about that, the refusal to make them either villains or saints.
