32-Week Professional Photography Program

The 32-week Professional Photography Program is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in photography.

The first part comprises the core courses, which cover all aspects of modern photography: photojournalism, studio photography, fashion photography, computer imaging, printing techniques, visual identity, as well as the history of photography. Top-level professionals hold the courses and monitor the students’ individual acquisition of skills. Outside of class, students independently organize their shooting sessions and post-production, with the continual guidance of their supervisors.

During the second part, the students improve their practical skills and broaden their range of knowledge. Depending on their career choice, they specialize either in studio photography or in photojournalism, and select two or three complementary options. Courses in computer imaging remain compulsory for both specializations.

The last week of the second part is dedicated to the set-up of the students’ end-of-the-year exhibition on the school premises, an important event visited by established photographers, photo agencies, picture editors and the press. The students also have the possibility to exhibit their work online.
