You’re ready to accept direction and tough critique, to be challenged, to learn by putting in more effort and taking more photos than you ever thought needed—all because photography is your passion.
In our Digital Photography schools, you can develop the creative instincts and technical knowledge required to capture the world as only you see it. It’ll take lots of practice and commitment, but in the end, you’ll be equipped to pursue a career doing what you love.
At The Art Institutes system of schools, you’ll join a creative community like no other. In our hands-on Digital Photography classes, our faculty draw on industry experience to provide individualized guidance and feedback as they challenge you to try new techniques and ideas. You’ll explore not only topics like composition, digital image management, post-production editing, and even video, but also how to make clients feel at ease, how to problem-solve on the fly, and how to effectively juggle the roles of photography technician, producer, and director during a shoot.
Outside the classroom, you can join student organizations, participate in industry events, and draw inspiration from the many other talented, creative thinkers throughout the school.
Serious about building your career? So are we.
