Bryce Batts (b. 1999) is a portrait photographer based in Oswego, Illinois. In his work, Batts creates mini vignettes to tell the stories—and, specifically, to share the light—of people of color. Often featuring his own image, Batts reshapes the Generation X “selfie” into self(ie) portraits and explores identity, self-presentation, solitude, stereotype, and more, often with an air of humor or humility. Batts is a graduate of Aurora University.
