We’ll help you find your own creative voice, while also teaching you how to thrive in a fast-changing industry.
Our relationships with Hasselblad, Canon, Getty Images, Nikon and many others make our photography facilities some of the finest in Europe. Every large studio, darkroom, process area and piece of photography equipment is designed and calibrated for professional use.
You’ll gain industry insights and inspiration from photographers like Rut Blees Luxemburg and Martin Parr, wildlife filmmakers like Doug Allen, and photojournalists like Antonio Olmos.
