Find out "Why choose Raffles Milano" and get to know the Master in Photography with Course Leader Denis Curti.

Because?

Photographing means proposing a useful and interesting model of the world, which by telling reality helps us to love it. The photographer is no longer an artisan's job. Digital technology pushes him to "shake off" the obsession with technique in favor of a logic increasingly linked to knowing how to see, to know how to interpret and to know how to tell.

Student of the year

At the end of each academic year, RM awards the best talent of each year of the course.

The recognition is given to the student who, for academic career and portfolio, has distinguished himself in the evaluation of both a commission of internal teachers and that of a commission of external professionals, called in this case to judge a portfolio guaranteed by anonymity.

Project teachers

Learning directly from the protagonists means acquiring the most advanced visions and methods at the source. Unlike traditional Masters, the Raffles Milano Masters bring knowledge into the classroom thanks to 10 professionals at the top of the market who take turns in the classroom over the ten months.

Learning directly from the protagonists means acquiring the most advanced visions and methods at the source. Unlike traditional Masters, the Raffles Milano Masters bring knowledge into the classroom thanks to 10 professionals at the top of the market who take turns in the classroom over the ten months.

Each professional spends a month with the students. 8 months of 4 weeks and 2 months of 3 weeks.

For each week there is a 6-hour day and an 8-hour day of lessons with the professional.

At the end of each month the student receives an evaluation on the project carried out.

Some of the professionals could be replaced during the Master, with other professionals at the top of the market, keeping the level of the international Faculty unchanged.

Method teachers

There are also theoretical knowledge and skills that are not learned in the race and require ad hoc study. It is not known when they will be able to serve, but one thing is certain: they will serve.

For this reason, students have during the 10 months 200 hours of lessons with the method teachers, the lessons are distributed during the 10 months of the Master.

Some of the method teachers could be replaced during the Master, keeping the Faculty level unchanged.

• Maki Gherzi (Director)
• Cristina Manasse
• Stefano Mirti
• Beatrice Ravelli
