What our students say about our teachers

Kai’s “Summer Nights, Through a Lens” was such a great experience! I really appreciated the insights and impulses Kai shared with us. They inspired us to go out shooting in the evenings and at night, and the diversity of the resulting photos was truly astounding. My favorite part was Kai’s reviews of all the submitted photos. His perspectives were so helpful for analyzing and understanding images more deeply, which in turn sparked so many new ideas to keep in mind while out shooting.

The cyanotype class was super interesting and I liked Claudia's way of sharing very generously her knowledge over a technique she has long been working on; I find it not so common, artists tend to keep their “tricks” for themselves. And I really enjoyed sharing this class with such a wonderful group of people. The challenge was to make us work on something very manual, from a distance and through a video screen and, in my opinion, she succeeded greatly.

—Lara (France)

Thank you for guiding us down the Surrealism path. I had fun and enjoyed the course — I will be revisiting the “tool box” to feel more comfortable with Surrealism! I look forward to taking another class with you in the future.

—Alan (Minnesota)

While I was editing a long-term project that eventually became a photo book, Allen Frame was consistently supportive and generous with insightful, inspiring advice that helped me think more deeply about my subject. Because the project involved exploring my personal past, the process was at times psychologically and emotionally challenging. Allen’s guidance, along with the thoughtful responses of my fellow photographers in the class, gave me the support I needed to keep going.

—Eri (California)

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.
