Photography

SRISA Photography offers opportunities for both beginning and advanced students to explore the city of Florence through the medium of photography.

Courses provide a framework to encourage students to develop as artists and to interact with their new visual landscape.

SRISA offers a variety of courses ranging from basic black and white photography to more advanced courses that explore experimental processes, advanced and digital photography, documentary photography and the development of advanced independent projects. Courses in the history of photography broaden students’ understanding of the range and development of the medium in both Europe and North America while familiarizing them with the cultural discourses of contemporary photography.

Course structure

Utilizing both digital and analog photography, students learn a wide range of skills to create
unique images.

While courses introduce a considerable amount of technical information necessary for creating interesting photographs, students are challenged to consider the ideas and content that each photograph or series of photographs will present.
