Digital Photography

Overview

Digital photography courses and entrepreneurial basics -- the combined best of both worlds awaits you at VanArts.

North America’s first one-year diploma program makes you job-ready for an independent career as a digital photographer. Learn the basics of digital photography in the fully equipped studio, and then crank it up to the max.

Finesse your digital photography skills to the highest level while in the field, working with light, lighting and models to create the photo you want. Develop your portfolio by doing actual photo shoots under the nurturing eyes of industry professionals. Then collaborate with other digital photography school students to expand your creative awareness and industry contacts. VanArts teaches it all, from artistic to technical to the business side. You’ll graduate ready to work, armed with MacBook Pro with the latest Adobe imaging software, a professional print portfolio and your own website and marketing plan.

 

Inside VanArts

In our 20th Episode of Inside VanArts, our Digital Photography students in Term 3 go on location to Vancouver's beautiful Stanley Park with Lead Instructor Christopher Morris.
