Paris, a city at the heart of art and inspiration, has been home to some of the most iconic photographers and painters in history.

The birth of photography itself began here between 1815 and 1830 with pioneers like Niépce and Daguerre in the studio, and William Fox Talbot capturing landscapes. It was Nadar, with his groundbreaking photographic portraits, who played a pivotal role in garnering public acceptance for photography.

Renowned photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Eugène Atget continued to capture the soul of Paris, turning fleeting moments into eternal memories. And on the tranquil banks of the Seine, painters like Monet and Picasso unlocked their creativity.

In the field of photography, we offer courses in practical skills and techniques for all levels of experience, as well as programs in the history, development, and societal impact of the medium.

Here, we explore subjects and themes that have persisted from the earliest glass plate negatives to today's Instagram. Our photography courses are designed to cater to photographers of all skill levels, offering everything from iPhone street photography to sophisticated night photography with an SLR.

Guided by experienced professionals, participants will not only learn the technical skills but will also explore the history of photography, delving into the works and artists that have revolutionized the field, and tracing the rich legacy from Niépce, Daguerre, and Talbot to the modern era.


But the world of visual arts at WICE doesn't stop at photography. We offer an array of classes that reach into the vibrant spectrum of visual creativity. Watercolor painting classes guided by skilled artists, graphic design courses on software like Canva, workshops on drawing skills, color theory, and even unique subjects like "The Rich Inner Life of the Mild Mannered Pencil" are all waiting for your exploration. From origami to live model drawing, the program promises an immersive experience in the visual arts, enriched by the artistic soul of Paris.

Join us in this celebration of artistic expression, whether you are a budding photographer, an aspiring painter, or simply someone intrigued by the world of visual arts. Our Photography and Visual Arts program invites you to learn, create, and be inspired in a city that has been the cradle of art for centuries. Here at WICE, we provide the canvas; you bring the vision. Together, we'll create something extraordinary.
