BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Advanced Photo Course 2026
Refine Your Vision. Build Your Voice. Showcase Your Work.
The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Photo Course is designed for artists ready to elevate their practice, guiding you from an idea to a fully realised body of work - whether that’s an exhibition, a zine, or a published book.
Through mentorship, personalised assignments, and expert guidance, you’ll refine your visual language, strengthen your storytelling, and develop a project that is truly your own.
Personalised exercises will challenge you to push boundaries, think critically, and lay a strong foundation for your final project. You’ll explore research methods, conceptual development, and visual cohesion—all essential elements of a compelling photographic series.
Each month, experienced guest speakers will present their area of expertise, provide in-depth feedback, helping you refine your ideas. In the final stage of the program, you’ll present your project—whether as an exhibition, zine, or publication layout—for critique and final refinement.
This course is ideal for photographers eager to commit to their practice, push their creative limits, and develop a significant body of work with professional guidance.
