James Hyman is delighted to select his pick of graduate photographers.

Each year as part of Graduate Photography Online we ask a number of professionals from the world of photography to review all the BA work submitted and choose their favourites. We hope this makes an interesting introduction to the project as a whole.
Director, James Hyman Photography, London comments;
"I was struck by the diversity of the work presented and by the range of approaches. However, given my particular interest in subjective and conceptual forms of social photography, the artists selected include those whose themes reflect their interest in specific aspects of society. I am very interested in forms of contemporary documentary or post-documentary practise in which there is a subjective dimension and works in which the photographer's relationship to the subject is significant. I am also interested in the relationship between past, present and future, in the ways that traces of history - whether family, culture or ethnicity - are manifest in the present. I am also intrigued by the way that emerging artists draw from their elders, sub-consciously but also, often, self-consciously in the creation of their work."
