Colleen Neff was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and has lived all over the country courtesy of having a father who worked for I.B.M. She discovered a love of photography and art history at Beloit College in Wisconsin. Starting out with a pinhole camera she constructed herself, Colleen now uses a Leica D-Lux 5 as it fits perfectly into her small backpack. She currently lives in Berkeley, California, and photographs life as she walks and hikes in the Bay Area.

The Charm Buyers describes extraordinary beauty and turbulent change: Tahiti during the last years of nuclear testing in the Pacific.

“The Charm Buyers isn’t just a book, it’s a world―full of the complexity and beauty of life, masterfully created. Reading this felt like diving into a reality both eerily familiar and yet artistically brand new. Lillian Howan’s talent is rare, refreshing, and casts a spell from page one.” —Mat Johnson, author of Loving Day and Pym

“The Charm Buyers is a thought-provoking insight into a time of cultural change. It captures an essence of existing between reality and surreality, dreaming and wakefulness, the past and the future.” —Foreword Reviews
