What our students say about our teachers
Kat Shannon did a superb job. She is an excellent photography instructor. She is thoroughly prepared and is creative in her content and assignments/prompts. She has considerable depth in her photography knowledge and is articulate and stimulating. She is kind. I will definitely consider another class with Kat.

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.

Bryan has a great presence — very calm, organized and knowledgeable with his presentation material. He provided very good explanation of technical items like scanning slides and negatives. I enjoyed the class and it stimulated me to organize my analog and digital files. Bryan summed up each class with follow up material and handouts that explained further all the topics covered.
—Greta (San Francisco)
The class was a deep dive from our personal images and into ourselves and back again! I loved the class and I think all of the participants in this really incredible group did as well…. Teaching a course that involves individual needs as well as the personal creative process is delicate and really requires a great deal of understanding and flexibility; I thought Carlos was extremely sensitive in his approach, and I felt extremely fulfilled and self-aware by the last week of class.
