Through bi-weekly forums, the Meet Justice team along with visiting professional photographers and videographers have instructed the youth in photography skills along with teaching them the journalistic side of documenting life around them. These youth have spoken up and are looking for a voice. Through Their Eyes provided for them not only a creative outlet to speak, but also the ability to cause change by telling the stories they feel the media neglects to tell.
The Through Their Eyes camera project lasted for 60 days and included 6 forums where photography instruction along with story telling concepts were taught. The youth were split into two groups, half focused on still photography while the other half directed their attention toward video. Each forum the students were paired with either a professional photographer or videographer who discussed their footage with them, and helped them develop the story that they are looking to tell.
Join us to experience the raw stories through powerful photography and video as seen through the eyes Atlanta's inner city youth journalist.
The time has come for the voiceless to be heard, and life to be seen as it truly exist. No longer will the excuse of ‘you don’t know what it’s like’ exist. You are now responsible.
