Photography Courses in Florence, Italy

TheDarkroom Academy Firenze:
We are a small school in Florence, Italy, run by professionals which are working on their subject fields for many years. Our director, Mr. Andrea Moradei, is on the educational field of Italian learning, art and cuisine for more than 35 years. Our teachers are all professionals for long term in their fields and have proofed experiences in teaching in study-abroad programs.

Our mission is to train students for to become professional in their subject field. Study programs are conceived to teach photography, video, graphic and web design from the basics to the most challenging specialized fields of each specific subject matter. At the end of the academic program students will have the necessary knowledge to start a free-lance job as well as to be first assistant in any photo studio, production studio, graphic studio, television network, photo-video agency and so on, to begin their own professional career.

We study not for to become the best. We study for to improve every day of our lives.

This is what makes us different, perhaps. We study along with our students. We believe our students are going to join us because we are a small school that is run by professionals committed each one to their own subject. This way we can keep a close contact with the students and transmit them our passion along with our know-how.

We believe in practical experience so a great deal of time is given to practical and field work, such as professional partnerships with various companies in Florence where we assign students for to practice what they study in the class during the academic year.

Our programs will help you to study every technique that's helpful to express your creativity. Tomorrow you may need that knowledge to solve a new matter for your work.

The school is located at the ground-level floor of a small historical building facing the square of Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio in Florence.

In this premise we have four classrooms for up to 10-15 students group size. All rooms are equipped with video projectors. A photo studio is set up with all necessary gears, backdrops, stands and lighting systems for our advanced classes of the academic courses and for the workshops of fashion photography.

We have scanners for film, film cameras for our beginners (nowadays film cameras are a rarity), large format view cameras for field and studio work. A darkroom fully equipped for black and white processes for tailored workshops of film and darkroom photography, at one's choice.

In a building nearby, located in via de' Pandolfini, we can offer large rooms for larger numbers of students, even if we aim to keep classes small, under 10 students per class.

A professional photo studio is located in the opposite side of Florence, at 15 minutes from the center by public bus.
