Leanne Barazan is a New York City–based photographer whose work explores themes of identity, memory, and cultural storytelling through portraiture and editorial imagery. Born in the Philippines and raised in the U.S., her personal history deeply informs her visual language, often examining the nuances of migration and belonging.

Leanne has completed her BFA at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Her project, American Enough, was featured in the 2023 Junior BFA Exhibition at the FIT Museum, documenting the assimilation journey of a teenage immigrant. She will be presenting a new series this May for the Senior BFA Exhibition, 381, drawing connections between the diasporic longing of Filipino-Americans and the fading presence of Indigenous traditions in modern society.
