Our Future Imagemakers are working hard on their personal vision projects. Each student is crafting a series of images that speak to their specific perspective and life experience. The web galleries of all of their work and their pop exhibition are both coming soon.

Reviewing the first drafts of the students' final projects! Pictured above is work by Renee, who is exploring the significance of lavender and pink hues within her family and the natural environment.
Last week all of the students in NYU's Future Artists program were brought to an admissions presentation at the top floor of NYU's Kimmel building. Many of the students from our program went into the presentation fearful and nervous about what a school like NYU would desire of them to be admitted. However their largest takeaway was that it's important to be yourself and to select a school that nourishes them and that they see themselves in, both academically and socially.
Studio Day with our Future Imagemakers.
“Working in the studio was really intriguing and a great experience. Using the meter to measure the lighting and seeing the effects of the change in f-stop gave me the capability to live a day in the life of a professional. Directing the models, even though they were just our classmates, made the fantasy of being Mario Testino feel close to real.”

Studio Day! Today we’re learning the basics of studio photography, including three-point strobe lighting for your subject and background, tethered capture, light metering, and light diffusion. Tristan, pictured in the first image above, even asked his dad to stop by to learn and have his photo taken. Photo Credit: Elliott Brown Jr. and Riana Gideon
I take the West Side Highway to get to school everyday, and the Hudson River is something that I see often in my life as well. However on the particular day this image on the top was taken, it was really cold and foggy outside, making for a very dreamy, ethereal landscape due to the weather. I'm really proud of this being that I was really able to convey a mood and setting behind this photo.
This photo on the bottom was taken as my brother was leaving our apartment to head to school one day. My hands are pretty shaky due to my physical disability, and it affects a lot of my physical life. It also affects my photography sometimes, but I tend to use it to my advantage, specifically seen in this photo. The blurriness and light come together in this photo to create a really good visual effect, as if the subject is glowing, almost. -Aaron Philip, Future Imagemakers 2017
Future Imagemaker Fred Giron-Giessen answers the questions: “Who am I?”, “How do I see myself?”, “How do others see me?” and “How do I want to be seen?” by looking at the people and environments that surround here daily life.
For one of our first bodies of work, our Future Imagemakers aimed the cameras at their own families. These images entitled “La Puerta: Pass Through to See”, “Pa One” and “Pa Two” give us a glimpse at one some of the details and intimacy that exist within their family lives with parents and siblings.

Utilizing the components of a photo essay, detail, overview, action and portrait, my photos are reflective of the environment my family resides and that I reside in with my friends. We may spend a lot of time together physically, however we are always doing our own things, which can be seen through our use of technology. It is reflective in the work I produce because I am merely an observer to the numerous events occurring all around me. An evening in my apartment generally involves my mom watching television in the living room while my brother is playing video games, me on Tumblr and my dad getting ready for work.
