a sophisticated camera with a lens so powerful, you can see the
moon at daytime? Your wish may come true. The New York
Film Academy provides a digital photography workshop where
students are immersed in the art and craft of still photography
and introduced to the tools necessary to capture great images
and refine them through digital imaging. Students are further taught the artistic and aesthetic element of their work
through various photography techniques. No experience is required to enrol in the program and it is mandatory for
