What our students say about our teachers

The lighting class was excellent. Gianni is both a great photographer and a great teacher. He made what can be a complicated subject understandable. Gianni helped me see where I was making mistakes and helped me understand how to fix them. Thank you so much Anja, and Gianni for this class. I am no longer scared of speedlights, and I feel like I just got a bunch of cool new tools that I can’t wait to try out.

Marina creates a warm, accepting and encouraging environment and pushes just enough. As a result, each student’s final work was very personal, from the heart.

Kai’s “Summer Nights, Through a Lens” was such a great experience! I really appreciated the insights and impulses Kai shared with us. They inspired us to go out shooting in the evenings and at night, and the diversity of the resulting photos was truly astounding. My favorite part was Kai’s reviews of all the submitted photos. His perspectives were so helpful for analyzing and understanding images more deeply, which in turn sparked so many new ideas to keep in mind while out shooting.
