Question
How has Scott Kivowitz contributed to the New Jersey photographers community through his events?
Answer
Scott has been actively involved in building and supporting the New Jersey photography community in a few key ways.
For example, he presented to the New Jersey Smug group, leading a session on “thinking outside the box” with photography at the Jackson Library. He encouraged photographers to bring images for group critique, creating space for constructive feedback and shared learning, and then hosted a follow-up photowalk to keep the creativity and conversation going.
More broadly, Scott continues to promote the value of in‑person events—like local meetups, trade shows, and photowalks—as essential for networking, learning, and relationship‑building, as he discusses in his Photo Breakdown episode on the value of in‑person photography events.
