As part of our orientation events, the One-Year Certificate Program at ICP will soon welcome newly enrolled students with the Photography Field Trip, an annual two-day experience led by our alumni. This special orientation event is designed to introduce students to both the rich photographic history of New York City and the practical aspects of city life.
Students will visit the Alice Austen House in Staten Island, exploring the legacy of one of America’s pioneering female photographers, and take a trip to Coney Island, where they will capture the energy and character of this iconic location. Throughout the trip, alumni will share valuable insights—not only about photography but also about navigating public transportation, discovering great local spots, and building connections with fellow students and recent graduates.
These field trips are a core part of the ICP experience, blending hands-on learning with real-world exposure to help students develop their artistic vision and confidence.
