Student Opportunities:
Student Volunteer’s Needed:
Ashe Husein, a part-time lecturer and photographer for the Rutgers School of Communication and Information, is looking for 2 to 4 ballet students for a photo shoot on campus. The purpose of this shoot is to, “emphasize the dancer’s strength, flexibility, athleticism and artistry”. The photos taken will be used for his portfolio and, “to create a series”. Volunteers will be able to receive copies of the photos, so this is a great opportunity to get some of your own images for your portfolios as well as get some volunteer hours!
To check out some of his photographs, check out his Instagram and Portfolio page.
