IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0PHOTO START GRADUATES WILL BE CAPABLE OF USING DIGITAL CAMERAS, MANIPULATING LIGHTS, UNDERSTAND BEST PRACTICES REGARDING DIGITAL WORKFLOW, DIGITAL PRODUCTION, AND DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT. PLANNING AND PATIENCE, TWO PRIZED ASSETS OF THE PREPARED PHOTOGRAPHER, ARE ALSO VALUED HIGHLY BY BUSINESSES AND HIRING MANAGERS IN A MULTITUDE OF FIELDS. OUR STUDENTS ALSO IMPROVE SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND SELF-RELIANCE. THESE LEADERSHIP TRAITS ARE HIGHLY TRANLATABLE AND EXTREMELY MARKETABLE, PARTICULARLY IN DEVELOPING REGIONS. BY TEACHING VULNERABLE STUDENTS PHOTOGRAPHY AS AN ART, AND A BUSINESS, WE HOPE TO BRING ABOUT MUCH NEEDED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS TO INTRODUCE THE WORLD TO A NEW GENERATION OF ARTISTS. STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE TEACHING, CREATING A SELF-PERPETUATING CYCLE OF INSTRUCTION. ADVANCING STUDENTS AND GRADUATES ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE TRAINING AND BECOME CERTIFIED TRAINERS IN THE PHOTO START PROGRAM. THIS WAY, WE ENABLE SELF-HELP AND ESTABLISH INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS ON THE GROUND.
