Another Chance: The 2025 Collection

Working with Youth Justice Network and Lens on Life, emerging young photographers from across NYC learnt how to use the camera as a tool for self-expression, discovery, and growth. Through multiple photographic approaches, they have reckoned with their realities, taking ownership of their collective future and shaping narratives that are alive with possibility. 

Despite being impacted in various ways by incarceration and homelessness, their work is not defined by hardship - it is defined by resilience and a desire to lead meaningful lives. Each image tells a story of strength and becoming - moments of quiet reflection, vulnerability, and joy: our shared humanity.
