New Name, Same Great Classes
Our name and location has changed, but you know us, from the West End Darkroom Photo School.

Photo School of the Upstate is an educational facility offering photography classes and promoting the appreciation of the art of classic as well as digital photography in the Greenville area.
Location & Parking
Unless otherwise notified we will be holding classes at Jack Schmidt’s photography studio space located in the Solteria Art Studios and Gallery at 255 A Street in the Poe Mill area of Greenville, SC. Other than during class hours, we are open only by appointment.
Located next to the Poinsett Ins. Co. on Buncombe Rd. Our building is the former general store and office of the Poe Mill Mfg. Co. It was built over 130 years ago, and looks rough on the outside, but is quite comfortable once you come inside.
There is plenty of parking on the Buncombe Rd. side of the building. Please enter through the back door. We will be watching for you. Please arrive prior to class time.
Directions: From downtown Greenville take College Street to Buncombe Street. Continue on Buncombe, which turns into Pete Hollis Blvd. Before the overpass, turn right back onto Buncombe Rd. Continue on Buncombe Road to A Street. The Poe Mill building will be on you right at the corner of Buncombe Rd. and A Street.
