LUCIE FOUNDATION ADVANCES YOUTH PHOTOJOURNALISM PROGRAM WITH NIKE AND THE NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

The Lucie Foundation joined forces with NIKE's Sustainable Business Initiative and New York's Department of Youth and Community Development to develope a youht, city-wide photo workshop. This endeavor resulted in visual projects highlighting Team NIKE Basketball players who hail from different NY neighborhoods including Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. Five photographers with distinctive track records in photojournalism, advertising and portraiture mentored these young photographers on the essentials of effective storytelling, composition and portraiture. The work will be exhibited in each of the five workshop sites in NYC, and select images will be featured in the NIKE retail store in Soho, NYC.

An online gallery is in the works, and we'll share as soon as the images are exhibited at the workshop sites.

Here's a snippet of some of the images created in the program.

Together, the images comprise an honest portrait, one interpretation, of California as a place of promise. Promises fulfilled, promises deferred, and promises denied.
