Nothing Compares to Texas School!

The Texas School of Photography is the destination for your intense, deep-dive into live, hands-on photographic education.

You will spend the entire week with one instructor who is dedicated to helping you take your photography to places you never thought possible.

Those who have attended know that Texas School is more than a week of intense learning…it is an immersion in non-stop photographic inspiration. That is why so many return year after year.

Mark your calendar and set your alarm because registration for the Texas School opens January 3rd at 11PM CST.

At exactly 11PM (Texas time), photographers across the US and beyond will be in front of their computers to register for the most exciting photographic education on the planet!

Texas School Is Education!

Texas School offers 37 classes covering a wide range of photographic study. Choose from classes to help you with creating better images, image editing, expanding your creativity or growing your business. You get to spend the entire week in one class working closely with an instructor who guide you through the techniques and the skills you need to become a complete photographer.

Depending on the class you choose, you may go on location, work in the studio, photograph real landscapes or edit images on your own computer. Our vendors fill each class with all the gear you need to get great images. Just bring your camera (or a laptop). You will work with live models in real sessions that will put you in the middle of the action and CRUSH the experience of watching videos online.

Texas School Is Fun!

After a full day of photography, it is time to cut loose for a little evening fun and fellowship with 1000 of your closest photographer friends. Live music, free refreshments, crazy costumes and amazing door prizes are just part of the evening activities at Texas School.

There are also powerful study groups, one-on-one mentoring and shooting assignments that have to get done for the next days’ class. The bottom line is, evenings at Texas School rock no matter how you roll.

Texas School Is Value!  

Our amazing vendors go out of their way to make sure you have a great week at Texas School. They provide you with FREE evening meals, loaner equipment for you to try out and free door prizes every time you turn around.
We know that life-long friendships are forged at Texas School as photographers from across the country connect to share ideas and encourage each other.

Never underestimate the value of networking with other instructors, vendors and fellow students.
