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.
