Sara Messinger, a 26-year-old photographer based in New York, has been nominated by Michael Foley, director of Leica Gallery NY, for her poignant portraits of teenagers. Her work, which has appeared in The Cut, The New York Times, and The New Yorker, was recently exhibited alongside Magnum photographer Bruce Davidson at Leica's New York gallery. Messinger describes her focus on teenagers as an organic discovery, drawn to their authenticity and honesty, and uses her photography to explore childhood fears and a search for connection.
