A space for learning, creating, and connecting through photography

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.

This class was really exceptional — Stefan was extremely well-prepared, very thorough and taught with great enthusiasm and care on a university level; great assignments and class critique plus post-class emails. This was on a new level of online learning.  

Thanks for introducing me to the inspiring work of such amazing photographers and helping me find my own voice as a photographer. It was really helpful to hear your thoughts on pictures and how you see and perceive certain images. Your passion for the art of photography really inspired me and the relaxed atmosphere you create within the classes, as well as your way of offering feedback, made it easy to follow and to share one’s own work. I learned a lot and I got some more direction on where I want to go with my photography, and the discussions made me think about the way I want to express myself.  My passion for telling people’s stories through pictures and my fascination for the craft and art of photography deepened with this class.

As a photographer, I had many stories to tell but I didn't know how to evolve from photo-taker to storyteller. Anja generously shared her experience and through weekly assignments and her constructive critiques, she gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed. I'll always value her guidance as a turning point in my photography career.  

I appreciate how you shared what you had to do to take photos and your whole workflow process. It was kind of like doing an internship with you — getting a real inside look from a person who is shooting for one of the top agencies in the world — without having to wear a bulletproof vest and gas mask.
