Wright Museum of African American History, Detroit, MI; the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, Washington, DC; and Aperture Foundation, New York, NY. Beal’s photographs are in many private and public collections, including the Studio Museum in Harlem, NY; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Columbia College, Chicago, IL; and Portland State University, Portland, OR.

Beal's work has been featured in several online editorials, including the New York Times, NBC, BET, Huffington Post, National Geographic, TIME Magazine, VICE Magazine, Essence, Marie Claire, and Newsweek.
