New York, September 25, 2024—Google’s Creator Labs and Aperture are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2024 Creator Labs Photo Fund–an initiative providing financial support and visibility to encourage artists at formative moments in their careers.

Inaugurated in 2021, the Creator Labs Photo Fund is now in its third season, continuing its mission of supporting image makers. In partnership with Aperture, Creator Labs Photo Fund provides one-time $6,000 grants and a Google Pixel device to thirty artists working in photography and lens-based practices and living in the United States.

From Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, and Washington, this year’s photographers bring diverse perspectives and visions to their bodies of work.

This year’s winners are Farah Al Qasimi, Luke Austin, Bruce Bennett, Morganne Boulden, Harlan Bozeman, Oyè Diran, Brayan Enriquez, Camille Farrah Lenain, Naima Green, Pia Paulina Guilmoth, Shravya Kag, Mary Kang, Brian Van Lau, Spandita Malik, Dom Marker, Ana Rosa Marx, Will Matsuda, Steven Molina Contreras, Rachelle Mozman Solano, Mathilde Mujanayi, Anh Nguyen, Nathan Olsen, Obinna Onyeka, Andina Marie Osorio, Tanner Pendleton, Chris Perez, Mateo Ruiz González, Jennifer Sakai, Rachel Elise Thomas, and Jaclyn Wright.
