What our students say about our teachers
This is the first class | took with StrudelmediaLive — later I took their workshop on using InDesign to make a book or zine. Nothing’s been the same since!
The workshops expanded my photographic horizons 1000%.

—Bobby (Washington DC)
I enjoyed the class, and my confidence in working with InDesign is growing — I think that zines will be the perfect medium for me to realize some of my ideas. And thanks for all of your input. It helps me see things in a new way.
—Cynthia (New York City)
Thanks for introducing me to the inspiring work of such amazing photographers and helping me find my own voice as a photographer. It was really helpful to hear your thoughts on pictures and how you see and perceive certain images. Your passion for the art of photography really inspired me and the relaxed atmosphere you create within the classes, as well as your way of offering feedback, made it easy to follow and to share one’s own work. I learned a lot and I got some more direction on where I want to go with my photography, and the discussions made me think about the way I want to express myself. My passion for telling people’s stories through pictures and my fascination for the craft and art of photography deepened with this class.
—Stephan (Vienna, Austria)
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)
Helena Goñi is an excellent instructor — knowledgeable, smart, supportive, and informed, with a wide knowledge of photography. I’ve enjoyed this class and would take another class with her.
—June (New Jersey)
