Academia de Fotografía classes and workshops provide a total immersion learning experience where you will develop new ways of seeing while strengthening your knowledge of shooting techniques and the craft of photography.

Classes are taught by Academia staff and by visiting instructors who teach within their areas of expertise.

We are located in San Miguel de Allende, a small city in the mountainous state of Guanajuato, in central Mexico. San Miguel offers the enticing blend of an historically preserved colonial town, a touch of modern sophistication and all the traditional customs and heritage of which Mexico is proud. The unique geographical area will inspire exploration of your personal style and will reinforce your shooting techniques.

Both group and private workshops are offered. Frequent discussions and critiques with fellow students will strengthen your understanding of photography as an art form.
