* Information about the Mente Argentina's Photography School:
Mente Argentinas Photography School was founded 15 years ago to educate professional photographers and further the study of photography in Argentina. Today, after years of experience, the school is one of the most important photography institutes in the country.

Classes are given in small groups and if necessary, the school can provide students with cameras. Class time is divided between studio instruction and excursions to some of the city's most scenic and interesting photography hot spots. These interactive field trips allow students to explore Buenos Aires as well as apply their knowledge and test out new techniques in inspiring settings around the city.

Courses start every week, have a flexible schedule and adapt to participants' availability. This will allow you free time to travel, meet people, venture outside of the city and experience a new culture!

* Optional:

Do you want to learn or improve your Spanish? Mente Argentina offers you the opportunity to combine your Photography program with Spanish lessons. This way, you will be able to learn or improve your Spanish while enjoying a unique learning experience in Buenos Aires.

Lessons last four hours and are offered from Monday to Friday at the Mente Argentina Spanish School in small groups of up to eight students. These group classes will be combined with individual Spanish lessons so that you can work specifically on your weaknesses and your areas of interest.

The teachers at our Spanish School are highly qualified and have years of experience teaching Spanish as a second language. Our classes are very interactive, beneficial and above all enjoyable! The classes can be scheduled for the morning or the afternoon, so they will not conflict with your Photography program activities.
