"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."- Dorthea Lange
School of the World founder Zach McDuffie is also an award winning photographer whose travel and beauty photography appears in publications worldwide. He developed a photography department at School of the World that satisfies everyone from first time photographers to working professionals looking to learn new techniques. Beginners become acquainted with the fundamentals of photography, digital workflow, and basic digital editing. Advanced photographers learn new techniques, and students of all skill levels benefit from having a local guide take them to amazing locales to shoot that they otherwise would never see. The rich colors and beauty of Costa Rica make a perfect setting for photography classes and workshops. Year round programs include Photography and Spanish, Photography and Surfing, and Photography and Yoga.
