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.

Curated by BDC staff

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.
