The Bronx Documentary Center (BDC) is proud to showcase the work of our Youth Photo League students, ages 11-18, in this year’s annual exhibition. Featuring over 50 powerful images, the show highlights their talent and storytelling through photography.

The BDC Youth Photo League is made possible, in part, by the Phillip and Edith Leonian Foundation, the William Talbott Hillman Foundation, Henry Nias Foundation,Chris Hondros Fund, Clif Family Foundation, Pierre & Tana Matisse Foundation, Lily Auchincloss Foundation, Fujifilm, Hyde & Watson Foundation, HT Ewald Foundation, Lawrence Foundation, New Yankee Stadium Community Benefits Fund, and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by City Council member Rafael Salamanca, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and State Legislature.

Through their lenses, these young photographers have documented a diverse range of subjects, delving into themes of loneliness and resilience, capturing their experiences at music shows, exploring the color blue, and revealing the profound connections and emotions they found in the streets.

Their photographs take us on a visual journey through the subcultures and vibrant communities of the South Bronx. These empathetic images offer a unique glimpse into the artistry and vision of each BDC Youth Photo League participant.

All digital photos were taken on DSLR cameras generously provided by Fujfilm.
