Master in photography

Ten extraordinary months. Ten international photography professionals in the classroom, one monthly, with their key figures. Ten unique opportunities to learn directly from the protagonists. Master of Raffles Milan. Finally somebody thought of us.

Because?

Photographing means propose a model of the useful and interesting world, telling reality that helps us to love it. The photographer is no longer a craft job. Digital technology drives it to "shake off" the obsession of the technique in favor of a logic increasingly linked to being able to see, to know how to interpret and to know how to tell.

Professional Opportunities

The photographer must be an active, effective and conscious interpreter of contemporaneity. And for this reason the lessons are built on the logic of the permanent update. The skill, the experience and the ability to break the teachers' schemes involved provide a high profile training course. At the end, students have the opportunity to find professional positions in the world of visual production both nationally and internationally, in various areas of communication and image, from still & motion to storytelling, from advertising to corporate environments.

Who is

The Master is aimed at all people who want to know and deepen the themes of contemporary photography, transforming their passion into a craft. In particular, it is designed for those who want to undertake a path of (re) definition and (re) professional positioning in step with the contexts of today. Who are tomorrow's photographers (and today)? People who have the skills, abilities and critical tools to face without a doubt the vast scene of contemporary production and to start their own autonomous, continuous and successful activity.

Program

Working alongside professionals who drive the market today, students gain a comprehensive view of new ways of designing identity, reportage, advertising campaigns, and corporate communications. The Master emphasizes concrete experiences and real assignments proposed by companies and institutions. A key part of the program is dedicated to the functioning of the collecting, publishing and fine art market through the construction of a personal portfolio, the first step to start relationships with international curators and galleries.
