Fatamorgana (photo school)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

[edit]

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]
