Nick Azzaro: Ypsilanti Community High Photography

WEMU’s Lisa Barry recently visited ​“The Learning Studio”, a Ypsilanti Community High School classroom where Nick Azzaro (BFA 2004) keeps students engaged with photography.

As schools and the education system continue to evolve, what’s being taught in the classroom has come a long way from just reading, writing and arithmetic.

89.1 WEMU’S Lisa Barry visited a local high school where students can make use of ​“The Learning Studio,” where a local photographer is combining community experience with public education, creating new opportunities for students.

Lisa visited Ypsilanti Community High School, where she was led to a room by district photographer Nick Azzaro, who has turned a regular classroom into a camera giving students a shot at a better education focused on what they are most interested in — photography.
