Stunning photos show the dark side of young ambition

Photographer Isabel Magowan has been shooting photos of young people for years, but it never occurred to her that she'd have a photo series on her hands.

Someone asked her if she had a name for her photos, and she settled on "Cygnets," meaning "young swans."

Like a young swan, her subjects are beautiful and looking to the future. There's also an undercurrent of complicated emotions running beneath. They're all trying to be somebody, but there's something else going on alongside their ambition.

Magowan's selected photos delve into those emotions and try to represent them as photographs.
