What our students say about our teachers
Thank you for a great class — this is a great thing to be able to do now and I know it’s something I’m going to continue doing.
—David (Westchester)
I don’t think I can convey in an email just how much I valued Fred Ritchin’s “Advancing the Personal Project for Social and Individual Change.” I’ve never experienced a workshop quite like this. Fred’s honesty, his profound understanding of photography, of the business, of people, of history, his willingness to share his time and vast knowledge, as well as his willingness to meet us where we are — is priceless.
—Tracy (California)
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.
—Grace (New York City)
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)
Carlos’ class was amazing! He is so talented in asking the right questions and discussing photography and our progress. I really enjoyed the classes and am still integrating everything I have learned.
—Shoshana (Berlin)
