What our students say about our teachers

I enjoyed the Interior View class and the sessions very interesting! Bryan is passionate about interiors and has an easy manner, and he offered suggestions for our images that were helpful. The assignments were challenging for me because I have never shot interiors before and never used a tripod — but I learned a lot.

—Sally (New York City)

I really feel that the classes I’ve taken with StrudelmediaLive have given me the confidence to keep putting my work out there!

—Cecily (Portland, Oregon)

I thoroughly enjoyed Kat’s class. I think she’s very personable and a good teacher. Her lessons were always interesting, and the readings and information about various photographers opened up a new area for me re: “pilgrimaging” with my camera. And her critiques were always helpful. Very glad I took the class and I’ve signed up for her next class.

—Susan (New York City)

Just wanted to let you know that Kai McBride's class on B&W Digital Photography was GREAT. He structured and conducted the sessions in a very organized way and provided an abundance of useful information. The assignments were useful and creative. I would definitely take a class with him again.

—Barbara (New York)

I've been enjoying all of the courses that I take through StrudelmediaLive. I find them motivating and fun, and I feel part of a community. You are building something wonderful.
