DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY - IN-PERSON PROGRAM Ages 9 - 15 YRS OLD This course offers a creative opportunity for anyone with or without experience who are interested in improving their skills in digital photography.

The week includes a field trip to a local destination for an on-location photo shoot. Duration: Monday - Thursday Dates: July 12, 13, 14 & 15, 2021 Times: 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. (1 hr. lunch) Price: $250 About the Instructor William A. Ortega is an educator and visual artist. He received his BFA from New Jersey City University, an MFA from Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts and an MPS degree in Digital Photography at the School of Visual Arts. As a first generation Latin American Ortega's work focuses on the process of assimilation by exploring many themes of identity through his photographic images. Ortega's projects are underlined with a sincere question about place, whether in its immediate physical presence by documenting and inspecting used items, landscapes, immediate family, ancestry and cultural racial history and its psychological impact. His work references male relationships and the modern-day view of masculinity that addresses perplexing suggestions ingrained by our cultural unconsciousness.
