Matrix Images is committed to educating the next generation of photojournalists and showcasing student photography.

We have partnered with Photo Start to expand on our common vision.

Photo Start, founded in 2016, is a publicly registered 501(c) 3 global non-profit headquartered in New York, New York. Photo Start’s mission is to provide applied learning experiences that give students the courage to reframe their stories, develop as leaders, and become agents of change in their communities. Photo Start does this by engaging, educating, and elevating young people in marginalized areas around the globe by teaching the art and business of photography.

Photo Start provides a safe environment to empower under-resourced young people (ages 12-25) to imagine, create, and choose their future. Using applied learning techniques, our photography curriculum integrates visual storytelling with digital literacy to equip students with needed 21st Century skills to thrive and develop their capacity to provide better life options as learners, workers, community leaders, and global citizens. The specific program partners reflect location-defined needs and cultural preferences.
