The Visualize Photography Foundation launches its website!
Photography is a medium of power. It moves us, beyond the mechanics of light and color. It compels, persuades, documents and entertains. It changes us as it changes the world. Founded in 2007 by working commercial photographers, the Visualize Photography Foundation was created as a resource for photographers and photography consumers, with the goal to advance the craft in all pursuits: professional, amateur, commercial and artistic.
Working in collaboration with the Noyes Museum of Art, the Foundation’s initial focus is the southeastern counties of New Jersey: Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Ocean – with short-term goals to expand to encompass photography throughout New Jersey.The Foundation develops and encourages working photographers and students of photography through collaborative and educational programs including workshops, scholarships and web resources.
Plans to expand the program will include guest lectures from photographers and other key players in the field, portfolio development, traveling exhibitions, field expeditions and publications. Through education, advocacy and professional development, the Foundation aims to raise acceptable standards to a higher level in support and cultivation of outstanding photography.
Please join us at ArtPort on June 5th at 5:30 for the gallery reception. Photographers include: Vernon Ogrodnek, Stephen Schneiderman, John DiMaio, Alex Anton, Donna Conner, Holly Horner, and Bill Horin. Scholarships will be awarded that evening to Atlantic County High School student's.
