2024 Inclusive Stock Photography Gallery
AHI, with support and funding from the Michigan Medicine Office of Health Equity and Inclusion, facilitated a youth-led project to develop an inclusive stock photo library of adolescents in health care settings.
AHI brought together a group of young people in Southeastern Michigan to ask them what they would like to see in medical stock photography. Adolescents were the visionaries and co-led the research and planning process. They designed the photoshoots, participated in the photos with complete input and consent, and provided guidance and feedback on the usage guide.
This project was designed to amplify youth voice and perspective and put the power in their hands to capture their unique identities and experiences in the health care system.
This photo series was driven by AHI’s values in efforts to transform the health care landscape to optimize adolescent and young adult health and well-being. Before utilizing these photos, we ask that you read through and commit to the usage guide created by our youth participants. For any questions about these guidelines, or how to properly use or credit these photos, contact us.
