Introducing Renée Anna Cornue (@reneecornue_studio), recipient of the 2026-2027 RISD Scholar - David Hanson Scholarship and a second-year MFA candidate in Photography at RISD. Renee Cornue is a Syrian-American queer photographer, raised by Syrian socialites and Southern Baptists in the suburbs of South Texas. Simultaneously, she is all and none of these things. Lineage plays a foundational role in her process, excavating and examining her contrasting heritages and identities. Her work is a curious and critical inquiry into the secrets that families keep and their motivations for doing so. For Cornue, photography and writing are practices of agency— creating a more inclusive archive, filling in lost histories, and adding histories of her own. She blends elements of herself and her ancestors, treading between the public and the private. She uses this agency with grace, generous in her storytelling and conversations with and about herself and her family. There is a tenderness in her work, a sense of standing at a crossroads and being the first person in many years to point the way ahead while begging, ‘come with me, let’s move forward.’ Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤍 @risd1877 @risdgraduatestudies taken in Rhode Island School of Design by @risdphto

Introducing Jake Benzinger (@jake_benzinger), a 1st year MFA candidate in Photography at RISD. Jake is a photography and book arts workshop instructor, content editor for Lenscratch (@lenscratch), and the founder/director of wych elm (@wychelm.press), an independent press creating small-run photo books, zines, and fine art ephemera.  - “Oscillating between levels of certainty and dissonance, “The Sun Danced That Day” reflects upon the way in which text and image ask for and negotiate with faith, belief, and perception. I use the camera as a tool both to document and fabricate reality, challenging how a viewer’s orientation may affect how they extend gestures of trust, reverence, and empathy. I reject the authority to discern the truthfulness or certainty of an experience as strictly objective or subjective, and suggest that it lacks a sort of fundamental empathy. I believe experience is much more nuanced, and that there should be space for experiential truth to live alongside what may be provable as objective. Dualisms often create a dangerous binary and oppositional logic, and in this context, rupture a way of experiencing and understanding life that is so tethered and intrinsic to the human experience. Considering the fluidity, intersection, and instability of memory, myth, and photography, I explore the ambiguities of certainty and mystery, and the subversion of Western cultural norms.” by @risdphto

Introducing Wenhan Hu @w.h_h.u 🫟, a 1st year MFA candidate in Photography at RISD…   Wenhan Hu was born in 2001 in Hangzhou, China. He received his dual bachelor’s degrees (BS & BE) in Mechanics and Civil Engineering System from Tsinghua University, Beijing.   -   Growing up within the digital flux, his practice interrogates what he terms the “distorted mirror stage”—a condition where the formation of self is no longer a singular moment of recognition, but a perpetual, unstable process of construction under the pressure of networked gazes.   Through photography, spatial collage, and digital intervention, he constructs fragmented fields of vision that materialize this dissonance. His work seeks to render visible the friction between who we are, who we perform, and who is reflected back at us. It is within this glitch between selves that his images operate. They capture not a unified subject, but the fractures: the labor of performance, the alienation from one’s own image, and the rupture between the physical body and its digital twin.   - images © 2026 Wenhan Hu.
