What our students say about our teachers:
We had a great course with Olga Ginzburg. She sparkles. She’s enthusiastic, encouraging, and lively as a teacher. We were all sorry that five weeks flew by so quickly.
—Lisa (New York)
I have taken photography classes at most of the renowned schools and organizations in the US, but none are better than those taught by Kai McBride of StrudelmediaLive. He is an incredibly intelligent and gifted educator who goes out of his way to make every class a memorable experience filled with ‘aha’ moments. Kai has talent galore. Don’t miss his courses!
—Patricia (Bronx, NY)
I want to take more courses with StrudelmediaLive!

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.
