For many students, picture day is an unaffordable luxury. That's why RAVIEB started a nonprofit to inspire, expose, and foster the development of low-income youth in the field of photography 📸💕⤵️
in Bed Stuy, enrollment issues and the activists who helped stop PS 25's closure back in 2018. Given this context, and in a post-pandemic world where many are struggling more than ever, PS 25 didn't have the resources to make school pictures accessible to all. For all of these reasons, I said yes to Karlie immediately.
Working with this school left me beyond inspired. It was so emotionally fulfilling and grounding. As a former public school student, I saw my younger self and my community in all of these kids. I have to admit, going into the shoot, I was nervous. I wanted the kids to feel good and have a great experience. I had screens around the photo set up so they could see themselves in real time. Watching their reaction to the photos was priceless.
This project left a bigger impact on me than I would have ever imagined. Something that really struck a chord was when some kids asked their teachers about photography and modeling after their shoot. I had a chance to show these kids that they could pursue a career in the arts because they saw someone who not only looked like them, but sat where they once sat..
There is an exponential decline of funding in education and arts in this country. And I firmly believe that all of the bigger issues we’re facing are rooted in education. We need to break the barriers of creativity being a privilege. And while picture day may be small, that’s my bigger picture.
