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.

—June (New Jersey)

I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful classes. I knew I was going to enjoy it but didn’t realise how much. Your feedback and the open conversations with the other students was so insightful, it exceeded my expectations, hence I was happy to stay up til 2am!!

—Silvana (Australia)

It has been such an inspiring process taking classes with Samantha and Néstor. They’re such dedicated and talented teachers — I owe you both a lot of gratitude.

—MG (Brooklyn)

The class was great. Néstor is a wonderful teacher, encouraging, critical in the right ways, and super nurturing. I enjoyed class with him so much.

—Kamal (New York City)

Thanks again, Anja and Edward, for a wonderful class — I can certainly say that I got what I was hoping for out of it.
