ELEVATING THE ART AND BUSINESS OF PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
We've built our reputation on the relationships we create with our photography students. To that end, we're creating an educational community that's designed around two-way conversations: small class sizes, as many LIVE events as possible, in-person workshops and interactive discussions...not just one-way lectures on a computer monitor.
