 What our students and graduates are saying

 “I want to thank my instructor, without his encouragement, support, and making me strive for perfection, I wouldn’t be the photographer I am today, and wouldn’t have gotten an internship doing commercial photography with the Disney Corporation.”


 “All of the hands on training has made me a lot more confident about getting paid for my photography.”


 “I enjoy shooting on location in our outdoor photography class. We don’t sit in a classroom talking about it, we go out and do it.”
