What our students say about our teachers

Many thanks to all of you who have accompanied me on my photographic journey with your great knowledge and empathy in the StrudelmediaLive workshops this year — embroidery with Jolanda Drukker Murray, cyanotype with Claudia Cortínez, the class about joy and pathos of everyday life with Allen Frame, and also photography as a pilgrimage with Kat Shannon.

Fantastic class! Thank you Anja and Gianni.

—Jay (Oakland)

The class was amazing…. Emile was incredibly insightful and had so much to share about writing, which I found extremely helpful. The readings were inspiring, and I really enjoyed the assignments and lectures. It was also wonderful to meet the other participants, and I loved getting to see everyone’s work.

—Genevieve (New York City)

Samantha is a warm person — thoroughly knowledgeable in photography and in still life in particular. Her enthusiasm is always apparent, and she always points out new directions for her students' photography projects.

—June (New Jersey)

I have learned much from Anja and StrudelmediaLive classes. She and the other teachers are very well accomplished on the technical and artistic sides of photography, helping me to grow in both areas. Anja has a creative mind and is very pleasant to work with — very important traits for a photography mentor. I look forward to more classes with her and the other teachers.
