PROJECT C.L.I.C.™ (Capturing Life In Cameras)

Workshops for 8-14 year olds focused on positive self-image and discovering the joy of photographic art. This is accomplished through hands-on experience via classroom instruction and neighborhood “photo walks.” All participants will create a portfolio of images that illustrates the story of who they are in relation to the world they live in.

“CAMDEN CAMERA CAMP™” – Summer photography program for "at-risk" youth.

The participants meet in Camden, NJ to

learn photo fundamentals from professional photographers. Campers are exposed to dynamic workshops including positive

self-esteem and healthy self-expression.

create great images and learn about

classic and contemporary art.

We live in a digital age where you can see instant results of the photographs you capture and then share those images via social-media with countless people. Originally, photography was an analog process that included film cameras and the use of chemicals to process and print images. There is a unique feeling  one experience when exploring photography. EJM Foundation offers short and long-term lessons to learn this beautiful process.

FOCUSED ON FREEDOM™ – Workshops for incarcerated youth age 14-18 geared to offer direction and hope. The teens will learn about the power of photographic imagery through self-portraits combined with their hand-written, positive declarations about their future. The images and affirmations will be posted in a common area at the correctional facility in order to inspire others to achieve their dreams.

“OUR GALLERY™” – This program creates public photographic art projects and murals for neighborhood beautification. The EJMF Team will connect with urban residents and young local artists to collaborate on the content of the photography. ​Erik James Montgomery creates original photographs for public display as well. Invitations are delivered to the residents and local officials for the creation of the images.
