Classes are focused on a variety of subjects: storytelling, long-term projects, documentary and street photography, composition, feedback groups, multimedia, and Lightroom. Join our email list to hear about new classes as they are added!

To me, online classes have been a synonym for freedom. Freedom of being where I was, geographically. Freedom of expressing myself through the group discussions and learning by sharing with others and with Anja.
—Lara M (France)
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.)
Live online photography classes makes learning fun and easy. The best part is that you get to meet and talk with participating photographers from all over the world.
