and her photo classes recently participated in City College’s Photo 360 event. The day was an incredible success, and it was clear that her preparation and commitment made a meaningful impact on students’ experience. They kicked off the morning with an outstanding presentation from City College alumni Perla, whose action sports photography portfolio truly inspired students. Her journey and work provided a powerful example of what is possible through passion, creativity, and continued education.
The lunch session featured the incredibly talented Kat De Laet, whose pet photography presentation was both engaging and memorable. A special shout out to Kat for sharing her expertise, creative process, and passion with our students it truly made an impact. Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in hands-on learning experiences. They interacted with college students, faculty, and professors while participating in workshops such as light painting, darkroom photo developing, fashion photography with live models, photo walks, and the unique camera obscura experience. These activities gave students a true sense of what college level photography programs can offer.
One of the most rewarding takeaways from the day was hearing directly from several students who expressed strong interest in attending the City College photography program next year. That kind of inspiration and connection is exactly what Photo 360 is all about. a special shout-out to George Tubon and Caity Fares for their support and contributions in making the event run smoothly. Also, a big shout out to Jan Roberts and Audry Stover for helping with the event making sure everyone had an awesome lunch experience. AND a big thanks to Mr Kurt for joining us for the day!
