The Advanced Photography Intensive engages students in the fundamentals of photographic practice and the development of a portfolio. A combination of advanced technical tutorials, individual meetings with internationally renowned artists and art professionals, as well as a series of seminars and group critiques, provide students with the tools they need to advance professionally and further develop the core elements of their practice.
