Photographs by UALR art history major Alex Leme were included in a new exhibition that opened in New York last week.

En Foco’s New Works #14 features photographers who question the traditional role of documentary photography to bear witness, by investigating its subjective, intimate and personal nature.

Juror Andy Adams, editor and publisher of Flak Photo, selected Leme and fellow photographers Rona Chang, Susana Raab, Daniel Ramos, and Sarah Sudhoff through a national call for submissions.

Another of Leme’s photographs was published last week in the first issue of LPV magazine.

He is one of four student finalists in the National Best College Photography Competition for Forum Magazine. It will be the second consecutive year that he has been chosen for inclusion in the annual publication.
