Learn Photography at NYFA
In NYFA’s photography camps and workshops, students learn the craft of digital photography through in-class instruction, faculty-supervised labs, and hands-on assignments. In these programs, students aged 14-17 work under the guidance of our faculty of industry professionals to discover new ways of looking at the same image. Throughout the camps and workshops, students learn a variety of technical and artistic approaches in digital photography, as well as critical skills in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. The course culminates with a collection of finished photographs across several genres of photography.
NYFA currently offers in-person, on-campus summer camps, as well as workshops during the academic year. We also offer online programs on a seasonal basis.
