Gain Digital Photography Experience at NYFA
In NYFA’s full-time, 1 and 2-Year Photography Certificate Programs, aspiring visual artists receive the hands-on education and experience intended to build core photography skills.
During these conservatory-based programs in New York and Los Angeles, students receive their own camera in the first semester, and use it to help create a portfolio, completing various projects that strengthen their ability to conceptualize, pre-visualize, compose, expose and edit powerful images. After graduating from our certificate programs, students can choose to continue their education in an NYFA degree program or pursue their creative and professional goals in photography.
