Welcome!
Our school is committed to the idea of photography as an accessible means of personal and artistic expression. To that effect, PhotoManhattan has been for the past 9+ years, offering great photography instruction at rates that are a fraction than those offered around the area.
Located at Union Square our school is surrounded by photo galleries and stores and a few minutes away from the artsy environment of lower Manhattan.
