Next Generation

This is the seventh edition of Next Generation – an annual feature showcasing final portfolios from graduates of London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. These talented photographers are entering the industry at an uncertain time. In spite of this, they transport the viewer to Ireland, Bangkok, Normandy and Budapest, urging them to stop, breathe and observe. The following pages look at the world under nightfall and consider its potential before a new day emerges. Surfacing from lockdown and moving into a period of mass-awakening – with global protests, rallies against social injustice and a wider awareness for the environment – it is more apparent than ever that we can only move forwards. These exciting new names provide fresh perspectives on familiar surroundings, keenly capturing a world on the cusp of monumental change through fine art, documentary, landscape and portraiture.
