Grace Smith is an Indianapolis-based photographer. She graduated from the University of Iowa in 2024 with a B.A. in journalism and cinematic arts.
A career-shaping moment for Grace happened in her third year of college while studying abroad in the Czech Republic. Grace spent a few days with families and refugees who had moved from Ukraine to a shelter home near Prague. She formed bonds with the children, who embraced her despite language barriers.

After seeing images of her children, one mother at the shelter home took Grace’s hand and started crying. She was immensely grateful for the images Grace created.
