As a photographer, I had many stories to tell but I didn’t know how to evolve from photo-taker to storyteller. Anja generously shared her experience and through weekly assignments and her constructive critiques, she gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed. I’ll always value her guidance as a turning point in my photography career.

Online classes take many forms, but the best I’ve experienced have been live online classes with a small cohort of dedicated students and a committed teacher. I’ve used online classes to help push projects forward, solicit objective feedback from teachers and fellow students, and to explore new approaches to capturing images and building my skills.

—B Rhodes (Washington D.C.)

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.
