Fatamorgana (photo school)

Fatamorgana is a Danish school of art photography in Copenhagen. Founded by Morten Bo in 1999, the school offers one-year introductory courses, divided up into two semesters, covering various aspects of documentary and conceptual photography. The school is located in the Copenhagen district of Amager.

History

Appreciating the need for a Danish institution dedicated to providing an education in art photography, Danish photographer Morten Bo adopted the model used so successfully by Christer Strömholm in Stockholm since 1956.[1]

The school has been awarded grants from several institutions including the Development Fund of the Danish Ministry of Culture, the National Bank's Anniversary Fund, and the royal palace, with a grant from the Prince's Fund "in acknowledgment of its active and efficient contribution."[2]

gollark: It is apparently blocked as over-18 content, which makes a slight bit of sense because it could let you access some indirectly, but seriously why.
gollark: The wikipedia page for `The Underground History of American Education` seems to have archive.org links to some stuff, but naturally my mobile network blocks archive.org because that makes sense and is an entirely reasonable thing to do.
gollark: I've heard it said that it works more to teach conformity, or make people happier with low level abuse.
