What our students say about our teachers

Zuzana’s class was one of the best content classes I’ve taken. It showed me a new approach to self portraits (which I’ve enjoyed making for a long time). Her critiques helped to validate my thoughts to move beyond including myself in all of my “self portrait” photos.

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.

—Christine (New York City)

Thank you both very much for a great course. I loved watching the movie clips and seeing students' interpretation through your talented guidance. See you again soon!

—Ilene (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)

Anja's course helped me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a photographer — the assignments and the feedback helped me to be more honest about my work and challenge myself more. I cannot stress enough how useful her courses would be for anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and photographer. I really enjoyed the interactive part where you can speak and see the other people in class in real time — it really brings up the learning experience.
