What our students say about our teachers

I have learned much from Anja and StrudelmediaLive classes. She and the other teachers are very well accomplished on the technical and artistic sides of photography, helping me to grow in both areas. Anja has a creative mind and is very pleasant to work with — very important traits for a photography mentor. I look forward to more classes with her and the other teachers.

—Jay (Oakland)

Zuzana is excellent. She sees the potential in everyone’s projects and has a multitude of astute suggestions about how things are working and how to make them more effective.

—Kevin (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)

I wanted to thank you for the class and for pushing me toward this new way (at least for me) of working on my personal story/project. I’m really excited to literally dive into it. Thank you for your time and support, your advice has been super helpful.

—Lara (France)

I wanted to thank you again for sharing your wisdom and your insightful thoughts with me these past ten weeks. I really enjoyed the structure you created for the class. It was also such a nice group of people — everyone was very supportive.
