I am interested in photography, movies, computing and web-arts. I hope I
could work something out of this.

I'd suggest the Parsons School of Design in New York City. I
don't have any specific knowledge of it other than having heard for
many years of its good reputation. I'll paste a couple of clips
from web pages along with their URLs, but you should be able to find
many more links using Google or some other search website.
