What our students say about our teachers

I liked Jolanda’s class a lot. It was intense, with a lot of new techniques. What I most liked about the workshop was to learn new techniques to use on a printed image, to work with fabric and to experiment and practice with new materials. Jolanda was super charming and helpful.

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)

This was a really good class! Erin’s presentations were great and included a lot of unfamiliar and thought-provoking material. And the class was a good group of students, all with thoughtful and relevant things to say.

—Christine (New York City)

Anja's live online classes provided an intimate and safe space where I felt comfortable to present and discuss my work with other students, thus traning me for presenting my work outside of class. The assignments coupled with class critiques taught me how to formulate my point of view of other people's work, and to continue learning about things such as composition and sequencing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is committed to advancing their photography, or who might need a little push and new prespective on where to take their work.

Thank you so much Marianne for this wonderful class! Adding text to my images isn’t something that I’ve ever done, but after this class I really like what I can do with images and stories. I also loved the structure of the class, how, step by step, we got to understand about adding text to images. Thank you for sharing your work, it's so creative! And the other work you showed was original and gave me a lot to think about.
