The Future of Photography

A look behind our Work Scholar program. Support the next generation at Aperture, with a gift.

 

 

“We’re held to highly professional expectations, which really means we get the chance to feel the excitement of seeing our contributions play out and impact the foundation’s work.”
Max Campbell, Digital Media Work Scholar, July 2014–January 2015

Hundreds of young professionals, photographers, editors, scholars, and publishers have gotten their start at Aperture Foundation, including artists Gregory Crewdson and Taryn Simon; curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Corey Keller; and associate curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Christopher Lew, as well as the publisher of Aperture’s book program, Lesley A. Martin.

Aperture mentors young professionals by giving them substantive work experience both at our Chelsea offices and through other opportunities, such as visits to public and private collections as well as to artists’ studios, and informational luncheons with photographers and scholars.
