What our students say about our teachers
I have never been more excited in a classroom than in Fred’s. His way of conducting the class, his references, and his general teachings have influenced and expanded my work in ways that make every project I start a complex and exciting endeavour.I entered his course understanding myself as a photojournalist and ended feeling that I could and should do much more than just photojournalism. I am proud to call myself one of his students and know that any person interested in the documentary practices (or just the human condition) will be greatly affected and changed by his ideas.

Kai’s classes were terrific. The group was a good mix of levels of experience. I learned a lot, and realized how much I have yet to learn. I was inspired!
—Bob (New York City)
Marina creates a warm, accepting and encouraging environment and pushes just enough. As a result, each student’s final work was very personal, from the heart.
—Lisa (New York City)
I enjoyed very much the workshop, Marianne is really good, the feedback and her comments helped me a lot in my personal work, I wish I had more classes with her…. this course was a breath of fresh air.
—Lorena (Mexico)
Over the past year I have learned that participating with other image makers is an essential part of my photography practice. I particularly like the way Strudelmedia classes combine valuable skills with individual attention.
