Photography is a lifelong pursuit. Finding a school that teaches you what you need to learn shouldn't be.
That’s where we come in.
The Career Training program at Rocky Mountain School of Photography delivers the most current, comprehensive
and in-depth photography education available today. Comprised of three distinct sessions which span a total
of 20 weeks, our program allows you to enter at your current level and graduate with the knowledge and
experience necessary to begin a career in photography.
What’s the secret? In a nutshell, it’s our unique
approach to teaching photography and our world-class instructors. Well, that and the fact that we’ve been
in the business of educating photographers for almost a quarter of a century.
Unlike the curriculum found at a two- or four-year school, our program strips away any non-essential elements
and focuses solely on the topics you need to move your photography forward. Whether it’s learning software
such as Adobe Lightroom® and Photoshop®, working with lights in the studio, or
composing beautiful landscapes, week by week, you are immersed in photography until it becomes second nature.
Of course, simply being in a classroom isn’t enough to gain an education. The person standing at the head of
the class makes all the difference in determining the quality and outcome of your experience. Every one of
our instructors is at RMSP, not because they are hot-shot photographers (although they are!), but because
they have built their knowledge from personal experience and possess the ability to help others learn. When
they are in front of you in the classroom, their focus is exactly where it needs to be: on you. And it
doesn’t stop there. What is conveyed in the classroom is practiced in the field. Of course, at RMSP, the
"field" could mean the digital darkroom, print lab, lighting studio, a statewide rodeo or even a sunrise
shoot at a nearby nature preserve.
