Proprietary curriculum
Designed by leading experts in photography – with passion and precision.
Thanks to its unique program, which combines all the important aspects of a photographer’s work, the School of Creative Photography has been recognized as one of the best photography schools in the world (by Shotkit.com and Photoworkout.com).
Our goal is to develop the creativity and visual sensitivity of aspiring photographers. We teach not only technique, but above all, how to see consciously and tell stories through images.
Within our original curriculum, we combine a solid theoretical foundation – such as the history, techniques and types of photography – with intensive, hands-on practice. We teach the use of professional tools (Adobe Creative Cloud), the principles of copyright law and effective methods for presenting your own work.
The program covers both classic analog photography techniques and modern digital tools, including the use of artificial intelligence in the creative process. We place a strong emphasis on developing an individual style, experimenting with form and consciously building a portfolio. We teach photography in many contexts – from fashion and advertising to photojournalism, art and conceptual projects.
