Senior Showcase

SCAD PHOTOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT · SAVANNAH 2026

Graduation Showcase 2026

Graham Scott Studio · A celebration of your work

You made it. Now show your work. The SCAD Photography Department is proud to invite graduating photography majors and minors — Savannah and SCADnow students participating in-person at the 2026 commencement — to the Graduation Photography Showcase 2026: an exhibition dedicated entirely to you, and the work you’ve built during your time at SCAD. There is no jury. This show belongs to you. Refreshments, music, and celebration throughout the evening for a class that’s earned it.

OPENING RECEPTION

Thursday, May 28, 2026 · 5–8 pm

Graham Scott Studio, SCAD Savannah

AT THE RECEPTION

Print swap

Bring a few small prints to swap with friends and classmates. The best tradition in photography — and there’s no better moment.

Grad portraits

We’re setting up a backdrop and camera with SCAD props. Bring your family and friends — don’t leave without a photo.

Swag giveaway

Stay for the giveaway. Drawing for free SCAD swag at 7:30 pm.

PRE-SHOWCASE EVENT

Before the showcase, get curatorial eyes on your work

Choosing what to put on a wall — and how — is its own skill. Lydia Caston is joining SCAD Photo Club students for an informal working session to help you select and consider how to present your work for the graduation showcase. A rare opportunity to think alongside someone who does this at the highest level.

Friday, May 15, 2026 · 12:00–1:30 pm · Graham Scott, Room 123 · SCAD Photo Club

Guest: Lydia Caston, Exhibition Project Curator, Victoria & Albert Museum

Caston is Exhibition Project Curator at the V&A and Assistant Curator of Tim Walker: Wonderful Things. She is one of the curators of Fragile Beauty: Photographs from the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection. Recent contributions include The V&A Book of Colour in Design (2020), Another Country: British Documentary Photography Since 1945 (2022), George Hoyningen-Huene: Photography, Fashion, Film (2024), and Calling the Shots: A Queer History of Photography (2024).

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Framed / hangable work

Drop off at the Graham Scott checkout counter between Friday, May 22 – Tuesday, May 26 (end of day).

Bring 1–3 framed/hangable pieces. Every student who drops off work is guaranteed wall space — and if you submit more than one piece, we’ll hang as many as we can fit. No minimum or maximum size requirement. The department will hang received work and produce labels — you don’t need to submit digital files alongside your physical piece.

Tape the following to the back of each piece for your wall label:

• Your full name

• Title of the work

• Your major (and minor, if applicable)

Digital image installation

We’re also inviting each student to submit 3 digital images, which the department will print and bring together as a large-scale installation on the studio wall. Think of it as the class portrait — every student represented, the full range of your cohort’s work on display in one sweeping view.

Submit 3 image files via the Dropbox link below by end of day, Sunday, May 24. Files should be Adobe RGB 1998, 300 ppi, 10 inches on the long edge, saved as JPG.

File naming:

FirstName_LastName_1  /  FirstName_LastName_2  /  FirstName_LastName_3

Video projects + social content

We’re also collecting social media posts, reels, and content that captures your SCAD memories and experience. These will play on loop throughout the showcase. Share what this journey has looked and felt like through your lens. 

Submit video projects via the same Dropbox link by end of day, Sunday, May 24 — we’d love to screen your work at the exhibition. File naming: FirstName_LastName_mp4

SUBMIT DIGITAL IMAGE FILES & VIDEO FILES — BY END OF DAY SUNDAY, MAY 24

Students have the opportunity to discover and refine their personal vision by making images in a variety of genres, including landscape, architecture, portrait and still life. While initial emphasis is placed on the use of traditional black-and-white materials and natural light, students may make use of color materials, digital technology and/or artificial light, depending on prior experience and personal preferences. Prerequisite(s): None.

Course Description: Photographs provide a record of our culture, from significant socio-political events to astounding human experiences. In this course, students experiment with visual communication strategies to develop photojournalistic narratives that persuasively tell the stories of our time while balancing ethics, accuracy and aesthetics.
Prerequisite(s): PHOT 324 (may be waived).

 

Take it for Fun...

 

Hi everyone! 

My thesis exhibition Roots & Remnants opens May 17th. This body of work transforms Caribbean and Southern botanicals into sculptural still life exploring memory, identity, and generational connection through a multicultural, diasporic lens. Incorporating Canadian plant shadows alongside these forms, the series layers presence and absence, reflecting on distance, ritual, and the act of preserving lineage. Presented as diptychs inspired by our ancestral offering tables, the work becomes a quiet offering of its own that bridges past and present through texture, light, and color.

Hope to see you at the opening!

WHEN: Opening Reception – May 17th | Exhibition: May 17th–23rd
WHERE: Arnika Dawkins Photographic Fine Art Gallery, 4600 Cascade Rd., Atlanta, GA 30331
