Great instruction with no pressure and lots of creative freedom.
— Dalyn C.
One of the most valuable things I learned at The School of Light was that the details matter-meticulous attention to the process shows in your results. As a whole I had an awesome time, and took my artistry to a new level.
— Nick G.
The School of Light has far exceeded anything I could have hoped for in the way of an authentic, hands on education in REAL photography. From the get-go, you get the sense that Andrew has distilled all of his hard-earned wisdom down to a pure concentrate of analogue academics that will help you get your shots printed the way they should be.
— Beto C.
I am very pleased with the work I have produced and always appreciate learning new printing techniques. The School of Light has given me the opportunity to create art in an intimate environment.
— Mitch L.
Lectures were creative and relevant, great darkroom and studio space, and experienced, hands-on instruction. The class made driving downtown after a long day’s work a motivating ride. I actually found myself pulling over and shooting on my way into class!
— Sarine, G.

Film will not and must not go away!
The faculty at SoL are a gift to the city of Los Angeles.
Wise and open-hearted, they take joy in others’ exploration and growth. And they have enough respect for the craft to run a pristine space.

It makes me hopeful for humankind that a place such as this exists and that people use it every week.

Easily the most
creatively exciting
experience I’ve
ever had.
Embrace the abstract, be open-minded, celebrate your own skill and achievements.
Being immersed in this wonderful creative space was an experience in itself. Facilities were out of this world. The creative collaboration was exceptional. It was everything I hoped for, and then a whole lot more.

It's a rare place
where people
genuinely care
about the craft and
about supporting
each other.
The School of Light has been a really special place for me to learn and grow as a photographer. I made some great friends in the Film Forever class and thoroughly enjoyed the large format classes.
