We are a group of schools offering modern teaching methods with special focus on practical application of the skills acquired. Thanks to combining theory and practical work under supervision of a team of experienced instructors we guarantee a balanced development of practical photographic skills and theoretical knowledge.
At the heart of the Tricity School of Photography there is a school of photography supervised by the Ministry of Culture (registration number 508/11/2008). The graduates get a professional title of visual artist with specialty „photographer„. The classes are taught both during weekdays and weekends, depending on course organization (evening and weekend schools).
Apart from the two year school TSF operates a yearly Studium of Artistic Photographycovering the same programme as the first year of the weekend school without giving the formal qualification as photographer as well as a yearly Studium of Professional Photographyfocussing on the practical, technical aspects of photography. The Studium of Professional Photography commences after the winter break while all the other courses start in October.
Starting in the school year 2014-15 we have also opened the Master School of Photography; the only independent photographic course for advanced students in Poland. This is the only course we offer participation in which depends upon passing entrance exams.
Regardless of the course chosen, we take care of balanced development of all our students carefully chosing lecture and practice topics, setting new standards in artistic education. We offer assistance and advice on every stage of a student’s development. We strongly believe that this development requires constant practice which must not be limited to the controlled practice during school run practical exercises. This is why, in order to offer the best possible conditions for development, the school’s studio, darkroom and computer lab are available to the students free of charge six days a week from 11 a.m. till 11 p.m. (9.p.m on Saturdays).
It is here, surrounded by the smell of fixers and develppers that you will learn to make your own prints using not only modern digital methods, but also traditional processes such as gumprinting, cyanotype, talbotype and many others. It is also here that you will learn image edition and professional studio work.
In 2014, teaming up with Alternative Photographic Products we created a unique training centre focused entirely on historical photographic processes. Full list of workshops can be fount atwww.photoworkshops.pl.
