Photography Now!

Photography Now! is returning to the Restorative Justice & Community Empowerment Center with a great new teacher who brings that same great MyKingstonKids energy, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome him to the team.  Mr. Onaje Benjamin, a Documentary and Street Photographer will now head Photography Now!’s 8-week course.

Mr. Benjamin is also an archival Picture Framer with an accomplished career that reflects 30 years of experience in advocacy, activism, crisis intervention, community organizing, counseling, diversity management and culturally competent program development Being part of the solution for at-risk and justice-involved youth is incredibly important to MyKingstonKids, both as a tenet of the organization and to the people behind the organization.

Our program to teach photography skills to youth is founded on this principle, and no group is more important than those in the Restorative Justice system. It will empower the participants to look at the world and how it affects themselves, their families and their communities from different angles, as well as give them both artistic and photojournalism skills. Our projected outcome is to provide students with the opportunity to address some of their emotional/problematic behaviors, learn new skills, develop new talents and express their thoughts and ideas by using photography as a therapeutic outlet.

 Ages: 13-18
