Shutterbugs unite!
We’ve developed a photography program at the School of the World that satisfies everyone from first time photographers to working professionals looking to learn new techniques, and every level in between.
“All of the photos and videos on our website were shot locally by our staff and students. That says a lot about the quality of our photography department.”
– Zach McDuffie, Founder
About Photo & Video
Beginners become acquainted with the fundamentals of photography/video, digital workflow, and basic digital editing. Advanced photographers learn new techniques, and students of all skill levels benefit from having a local guide take them to amazing locales to shoot what they otherwise would never see.
A typical day . . . video and photo
1) Worth a thousand words! Photography classes meet daily (Mon-Fri) for aprox. 2 hours, alternating between learning new lessons in the classroom, taking trips to shoot in the field, and editing in our digital darkroom using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
2) Laid-back! If you’re taking any of our course combos, the surf schedule is designed to give you at least 30 minutes between surf sessions and your other classes. Keep in mind that depending on your course combo, you may be in class for up to 7 hours per day.
3) Weekends are yours to do what you like. It is a great time to explore the area, travel independently, practice your newly learned skills, or just relax by the pool.
