C1M Photography Becomes C1M Academy, Reflecting Growth Into a Full Education Institution

Amherst, NH, C1M Photography, LLC has officially changed its name to C1M Academy, LLC. The change reflects the company's evolution from a photography-focused business into a New Hampshire Department of Education licensed school offering certification programs and an expanding curriculum.

C1M Academy is one of the few NH DoE licensed photography schools in the state, offering a Certified Professional Photographer program alongside courses in photography, photo editing, and new for this year, artificial intelligence.

Founded by Walter Schnecker over 20 years ago, C1M has taught more than 2,000 students. The school runs free Introduction to Digital Photography workshops, a six-week Photography-1 course, and a monthly Photo Explorers group, all based in Amherst.

"The name needed to catch up with what we'd already become," said Schnecker. "We're not just teaching people how to use a camera anymore. We're a school."

The AI curriculum includes an Introduction to Artificial Intelligence workshop and a three-course sequence leading to a Certificate in Applied Artificial Intelligence.
