What our students say about our teachers


I enjoyed our recent class tremendously! I learned a great deal and feel stretched. Much gratitude to you and Edward for providing inspiring discussion, feedback, and super class content. My fellow classmates shared amazing art projects. I loved the global perspectives we had.
—Kathryn (Colorado)
I enjoyed this class tremendously — Kai is an excellent teacher. He provided lots of examples to demonstrate the task at hand and his handouts were extremely thorough. He documented the work in such a way that you felt he was in your home conducting a one-to-one tutorial session. Thank you for the opportunity to engage in such a positive experience in my photography journey!
—Marilyn (The Bronx)
Fred is more than just a professor or a teacher. His words are honest, and his care for his work is deeply real. He treats his students as a collective force, not just individuals in a classroom. He truly sees their shared strength and believes in their voices, and he understands that their differences are a source of power. Fred is a genuinely real human being, and that is what makes learning from him so meaningful.
—Walaa (New York City)
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.  
—Deborah (Boston)
I really enjoyed taking “Architecture and Narrative” with Marianne — she is a very, very inspiring teacher and I want to take more courses with StrudelmediaLive.  
—Arturo (Mexico City)
