All Photography schools and photo workshops in Brussels
Brussels offers a vibrant array of photography schools and academies catering to both aspiring and professional photographers. Institutions such as La Cambre, part of the École nationale supérieure des arts visuels, provide rigorous programmes combining artistic innovation with technical skills. The Royal Academy of Fine Arts also boasts specialised courses that focus on contemporary photographic practices.
Meanwhile, smaller private schools like ATELIER CONTRAST and my own KUNSTKOT Art School offer more hands-on workshops and masterclasses, often tailored to current industry trends.
These diverse educational options make Brussels a dynamic hub for developing photographic talent, whether one aims for fine art, commercial, or documentary photography.

A google map made for finding all photography schools in Brussels.
I made a detailed list on Google Maps, essentially a comprehensive map featuring all the photo schools available. You have the option to enroll in a four-year long program at a formal academy. In Brussels, many communes offer both French and Dutch academies that are open to students of all ages.
Alternatively, you can opt for shorter courses, such as one-day workshops, weekend intensives, or specialized photography workshops lasting just three months. This variety makes it easy to find a program that fits your schedule and learning preferences.
If you think I missed a photo school in this list, just let me know!
