Should I go to school or studio to learn photography?

Here I'll help you list the advantages and disadvantages of going to photography school, self-study or being an assistant. I hope I can help you.

The first type: self-study

Advantages: no money.

Disadvantages: long time, no opportunity for practice, and lack of professionalism in learning.

The second type: go to the photo studio as an apprentice, as an assistant and so on;

Advantages: you can learn the process of the studio.

Disadvantages: hard work, no real skills.

The third type: go to a professional school for training;

Advantages: short time and comprehensive study.

Disadvantages: the tuition is expensive and you can't learn the workflow.

To sum up the above three ways, if you want to learn technology, you must go to school to learn better. If you want to learn the process, you must learn it better in the studio. Personally, I think you can learn technology first, and then learn the process slowly, because if you are a photographer in the studio, you will definitely learn the process slowly. In fact, no one is needed to teach this.
