Fotografiska Summer Academy

Our Summer Academy is a welcoming space for you to find inspiration, try something new, or build on what you already love. With one- or two-day workshops and lectures, experienced artists and specialists are guiding you with their knowledge during hands-on exercises as you build and create.

You get to learn new skills without the pressure of a long-term commitment. Whether you’re simply curious for a fresh experience or love to work creatively already, our sessions are designed to adapt to your skill level.
