What our students say about our teachers
I wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying Jolanda’s class. She’s a wonderful teacher and I love getting the notes and images she references in class. Looking forward to the photo transfer to fabric process!
—Kathy (New Jersey)
Samantha is a warm person — thoroughly knowledgeable in photography and in still life in particular. Her enthusiasm is always apparent, and she always points out new directions for her students' photography projects.
—June (New Jersey)
Anja and Edward did a great job creating this class. I especially enjoyed the Hong Kong films featured in the class — they were new to me. I must say that the class made me think of films in a different way. It was strange to me that I reacted to the assignments as real challenges that made me quite nervous — a sure sign that the class was a true growth experience. I hope I can take another course with you someday down the road.
—Mike (California)
Anja's class helped me much more than I was expecting. I was a bit lost in proceeding with my raw idea in the beginning, but the classmates from diverse backgrounds were there with me along the whole journey, sometimes as a critic and sometimes as a supporter, and their thoughtful feedback pushed me forward a lot. I recommend Anja's online classes to anyone who wants diverse feedback and the intimacy of the classroom experience.
—Hee Jung (South Korea)
I truly enjoyed this course! Erin did a wonderful job at providing us with an overview of landscape photography through the readings, artists she referenced, and assignments. It was also really nice to see everyone’s work and engage in conversation. Erin’s course pushed me to think more deeply about the elements of a photograph.
—Nancy (The Bronx)
