the story of 7 young dutch gymnasts

This Saturday, I attended the first training session of 7 young and talented gymnast girls. Aged 12 to 17 yo, they train 10 hours per week and compete on a national level for some of them.
Over the next few months, I will follow them and hope to understand who they are under their uniform.
I want to write their story.

I've just started working on a new photo project that will document the lives of teenagers. Real life, no posing, no cheating.
