#RITphoto produced Ten Exhibits at the Imagine RIT 2016 Festival

Saturday May 7, 2016, RIT produced its 9th Imagine RIT festival. This festival began in 2008 at the suggestion of RIT president William Destler. It has been a wonderful addition to RIT and the entire campus is one big open house. Both students and faculty alike showcase their work during this 8 hour extravaganza.

#RITphoto was very busy at the festival. The students and faculty produced 10 exhibits. Shared above is a photograph of Dr Destler making his opening remarks Saturday May 7th at 10am. The above photograph was made by Emily Hunt , a PJ student under the supervision of Josh Meltzer photographed the entire festival, and in real time published their work. Below is one of the PJ students capturing video of the one of the displays produced by RITphoto.

For the ninth consecutive year, students from the photographic sciences deparment had a display and made 3d portraits as well as a number of other demonstrations. In 2013, they received the best of Imagine festival prize and this year’s display was equally impressive
