Talk

MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with photographer Ignacio Ayestaran. Ayestaran received his master’s degree from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 1994. He’s been involved in the commercial industry as a 3D artist for the last 20 years and has received many accolades, including an Emmy award for his work on the Discovery Channel. 

Photography has been a part of Ayestaran’s life as far back as he can remember. His father, an avid photographer, instilled on his children the sense of adventure, travel and appreciation for life. Ignacio received his first camera at the age of 9 and has been shooting ever since. He was a contributing artist for Getty Images for over 10 years and his images formed part of the exclusive Getty Images Prestige Collection. The list of companies that have used his photographs included Apple, BBC Worldwide, Conde Nast Digital, Lonely Planet Publications, The New York Times Magazine, Peter Luger Steak House, Smithsonian Magazine, Viacom and Volkswagon Do Brasil.

The i3: Images, Ideas, Inspiration lecture series has returned to in-person events. The series continues to feature leading photographers, artists, editors, gallerists and industry experts. This spring, book designer, curator and faculty member Elizabeth Avedon is the guest curator and host.

Registration is required; the event location will be given to all registrants. All attendees must observe SVA COVID-19 protocols while on campus, remaining masked while indoors and presenting proof of vaccination (plus booster, if applicable) upon request.
