Social Media
Calling all artists that are proud of their work and want to share their art with the world! New Image has always been proud of its students.
We believe in nurturing and guiding you to that point where you can begin to shine and being there once you’ve started on that long journey into the limelight.
To that end, while in your program of study – any program whatsoever – and even after graduation (alumni), any time you create an amazing piece of art that you want the world to see, or you have amazing photos from an incredible photoshoot or great photographed moments on set or even behind the scenes, be sure to send us a high-quality copy that you’re sure you are allowed to share publicly.
Whether it’s a great Nail Art Design, a Bridal / High Fashion look, Creative Prosthetic Art / Special Effects Design, that perfect shot on set or stage, or just a great happy moment succeeding and working with the amazing people at your job/gig, we want to know, and we want the world to see.
Send us a few high quality, high resolution (at least 1920 x 1080 pixels – most smartphones shoot photos above this size) images to [email protected] that you are able and willing to share, along with at least a short description for what’s happening in the photos, the program or programs you graduated from, who is involved (include full names), and any restrictions on when we would be able to start sharing your story publicly.
We will share your art or your moment with the world and give you credit for your work, creating posts for Facebook, Instagram and our website to give you as much exposure as possible. If instead you are sharing – or have already shared – your own posts, let us know by email and/or by tagging us:
