The Art of Photography with Joe Conzo

On MAY 8th, 2010, YUCA students learned about the art of making pictures with Joe Conzo, a reknown Bronx photographer. Our workshop was an excellent introduction for students wanting to know more about the world of  photography. Mr. Conzo  gave an excellent talk about traditional versus digital photography, explaining in detail the basic elements of image making -  prerequisite for anyone looking to enter the industry. After years of taking pictures, Joe has developed an endearing and approachable technique, with an exceptional ability to connect and engage young people. He prepared a Powerpoint presentation of distributed samples of his photos that served as a teaching aid, visually reinforcing the engaging stories he told, intimate portraits of his experiences while taking pictures in the Bronx. In a very short time, youth  were totally focused and participating with a barage of questions for the veteran photographer. Thank you Joe for coming out and sharing your time and expertise.
