The Graduate Issue — Emily June Smith

#24 The Graduate Issue 2024

Diasporic identity, gender politics, the environment, and families; the ten graduates selected for the Photography+ Graduate Issue this year tackle the big topics with elegance and wit. From Isabella Madrid’s anarchic take on Colombian femininity to Mohamed Hassan’s elegiac exploration of his relationship with his father, they use photography in unique, individual ways, championing image-making as a method of self-expression and communication. Congratulations on great work to Amin Abdulrahman, Murray Ballard, Africa Barrero-Alexander, Madeleine Brunnmeier, Noah Fodor, Mohamed Hassan, Isabella Madrid, Emily June Smith, Seok-woo Song, and Quincey Spagnoletti.
