“All of our projects are different. They range from one place or idea to another and aren’t really ‘this’ or ‘that.’ Like in a color spectrum, you aren’t certain when the colors blend from one to another.” – Naidelyn Contreras, 10th Grade

These projects by NYU Tisch Future Imagemakers explore people and places, familiar and strange, in New York City and beyond. Twelve emerging photographers used their cameras to delve into the depths of the mind and imagination, and to carefully observe and comment on relationships — between humans and the environment. Their lenses focused on family, friends, dreams, nature, fashion, immigration, mental health, and more. While each Imagemaker’s artistic approach is unique, all of these projects are bound by a sense of curiosity and a willingness to embrace ambiguity, connection, and discovery. Students come from different high schools — and some from different states — but worked together in this program to build a collective, creative response to their worlds.

Future Imagemakers at NYU Tisch Photography & Imaging is a free digital program for New York City area high school students offered in the Department of Photography and Imaging (DPI) at New York University and part of Tisch Future Artists. The collaborative workshop is taught by DPI faculty and students. We at Future Imagemakers are passionate about image-making, self-expression, and social justice. We believe in the power of photography to celebrate diversity and intersectionality, and to address racism, gender discrimination, and all forms of intolerance. We seek to expand boundaries and learn from each other.

    NYU Tisch Department of Photography and Imaging

    The Department of Photography and Imaging (DPI) in the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University is a four-year B.F.A. program situated in New York City. Centered on the making and understanding of images, DPI offers students both the intensive focus of an arts curriculum and a grounding in the liberal arts. We embrace multiple perspectives, and our majors work in virtually all modes of analog and digital photo-based image making, multimedia, new media, and post-photographic 3D simulation technologies. The studio work is accompanied by a wide-ranging critical studies curriculum. Our alums have gone on to work in a wide variety of creative fields. They are artists, documentary makers, journalists, fashion and editorial photographers, filmmakers, cinematographers, educators, writers, activists, craftspeople, coders, web designers, art directors, graphic designers, book designers and publishers, art historians, curators, art dealers, arts administrators, archivists, and more.

    Like all the departments at Tisch, our students come from all over the world with different outlooks and desires. We embrace those differences, and we are proud that there is no single defining look to our student work. We foster personal vision and offer a curriculum that is demanding but allows students the flexibility to take advantage of courses throughout the university. We want DPI to be a site of invention where our students are encouraged to think and see as well as engage with and understand the power of visual culture. We believe in the power of photography to celebrate diversity and intersectionality, and to address racism, gender discrimination, and all forms of intolerance.
