Starting with A1—The Great North Road , Graham invites us to encounter and pay attention to the social and historical contexts that shape life and culture. Beyond Caring is a stark visualization of the realities of unemployment; Troubled Land was one of the first photographic articulations of the quotidian and embedded presence of the troubles in Northern Ireland; and New Europe similarly chronicles the shadows of European history and conflict in unexpected sites and situations.

Graham has created critically acclaimed bodies of work that narrate the places, human situations, and inequities of contemporary America. American Night counterpoints dramatically overexposed photographs of solitary figures on American roadways with color-saturated photographs of suburban homes, suggesting the political invisibility and social blindness to poverty and racism in America.
