Your global community for live and interactive photography classes

Erin really challenged us to look beyond the surface of an image and introduced us to contemporary theories of erasure, decolonization, and hierarchies. Their thoughtfully curated slides and readings deftly illustrated how landscape photography can beautifully — yet erroneously — represent time and space. Most importantly, their weekly assignments shook me out of a photographic rut and inspired me to make exciting new work.

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.

I am so glad I signed up for this black and white class. Kai is a wonderful teacher. Not only is he organized, interesting, challenging and creative, but he goes that extra mile to provide us with very helpful handouts and resources! This class is opening up a whole new world to me!

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.

Thank you for all your guidance and patience with my project. There were some terrific students/talent in the class and you did a great job getting everyone to participate!

I appreciate how you shared what you had to do to take photos and your whole workflow process. It was kind of like doing an internship with you — getting a real inside look from a person who is shooting for one of the top agencies in the world — without having to wear a bulletproof vest and gas mask.
