NeON Photography is a community created to provide both professional and creative opportunity in seven New York City neighborhoods (Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant, East New York, Harlem, Jamaica, Northern Staten Island, and the South Bronx). The initiative offers photography workshops both in-person and online citywide. Our participants receive professional photography training in classes designed to introduce them to the elements and history of photography, as well as a range of technical skills, and the art of visual storytelling.
The NeON Photography workshops are a paid opportunity made possible through the Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON) that prepares participants to work as professional photographers. NeON Photography graduates have been hired for events across the city, some of those including Carnegie Hall, New York Fashion Week shows, music salons for Park Avenue Pianos, tennis tournaments with legend John McEnroe, and more.
Workshop sponsors include: Young Men’s Initiative, NYC Opportunity, Carnegie Hall, Park Avenue Pianos, Seeing for Ourselves, NYC Department of Probation, and the Neighborhood Opportunity Network.
