The emotional pull of modern photography is astounding, as photographers are able to capture the essence of human emotions and present them visually. The International Center of Photography focuses on the use of photography and how it provides a sentiment to major points in our country’s history, such as 9/11. In fact the museum showcases the art of photography and how it has expanded over the years and in several genres. The museum not only houses quality exhibitions but acts as a school for amateur photographers. The ICP School focuses on all realms of photography and acts as a complimentary service to the incredible museum.
