The Faces of LaGuardia photography project captures the global diversity of LaGuardia Community College's student body exclusively through portraits of LaGuardia students created by LaGuardia students.

A multi-faceted collaboration of the college's Marketing and Communications personnel, faculty members and students, it was structured as a contest open to the college's photography students. Mimicking a real world photo assignment, it challenged the students to do their best with one of the most difficult types of photographic representation, that of portraiture. Students had to find and engage their own subjects, obtain releases, schedule and conduct shooting sessions, edit their images, and submit on deadline.
