What our students say about our teachers

Anja's live online classes provided an intimate and safe space where I felt comfortable to present and discuss my work with other students, thus traning me for presenting my work outside of class. The assignments coupled with class critiques taught me how to formulate my point of view of other people's work, and to continue learning about things such as composition and sequencing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is committed to advancing their photography, or who might need a little push and new prespective on where to take their work.

—Nastassia (France)

This StrudelmediaLive course gave me the opportunity to learn more about photography, and also about myself.

—Nanu (Venezuela)

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.

—Jennifer (Monaco)

This class was a wonderful experience. It was an intimately sized group (about 6 students), so we all received extensive and personalized feedback, including various references that related to the specific subjects/styles/themes of our work. It gave me the social accountability and courage to start on projects that I have been postponing for many months, for which I am very grateful.

—Aldo (San Francisco)

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.
