Program Overview

Program Overview

The 2-Year Photography program at NYFA is designed to provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in commercial, fine arts, and documentary photography through hands-on projects.

Program Structure

Students begin with the one-year program curriculum, completing projects and exercises designed to establish and refine fundamental skills. In the second year, students progress to more advanced topics, and receive training in the art, craft, and business of contemporary image-making.

Program Goals

The goal of the program is for students to understand photography's visual language and aesthetic theories, and learn to incorporate these in their creative work. Students also learn to manage their brand as a photographer, and build advanced knowledge in Adobe Creative Suite, including:

• Photoshop
• Premiere Pro
• Lightroom

Program Outcomes

Students that fully commit to the 2-Year Photography Program walk away with a strong set of skills and techniques, as well as a series of photographs and projects for a competitive portfolio. Upon graduation, students will earn a college credit-bearing Certificate.

NYFA welcomes individuals with all levels of experience to the program, as students begin with the one-year curriculum.
