At New York Film Academy (NYFA), students have the rare opportunity to learn fashion photography directly from working professionals who are distinguished in their field. Studying from one of the fashion capitals of the world—New York City—NYFA Fashion Photography students gain hands-on experience, from prep to post, with industry-standard camera and lighting equipment.
Students will learn all aspects of a professional fashion shoot—including casting, working with both natural and artificial light, working with models and hair/makeup/stylists, as well as editing and retouching images into a final story. These lessons will come from experienced instructors with real-world experience from across the globe—photographers who have made names for themselves in the industry with their exceptional work.
