Throughout their week at NYFA Florence, students will be introduced to the people, traditions, and customs of Italy, allowing the architecture and landscapes to shape and refine their work. Due to the intensive nature of the workshop, students quickly learn the essentials of photography through hands-on experience in the field and rigorous coursework. No prior experience is required to attend.
