What our students say about our teachers
I truly enjoyed this course! Erin did a wonderful job at providing us with an overview of landscape photography through the readings, artists she referenced, and assignments. It was also really nice to see everyone’s work and engage in conversation. Erin’s course pushed me to think more deeply about the elements of a photograph.

Kai’s class was the best. Perfect format and class flow.
—Sheila (New Jersey)
Thank you so much Marianne for this wonderful class! Adding text to my images isn’t something that I’ve ever done, but after this class I really like what I can do with images and stories. I also loved the structure of the class, how, step by step, we got to understand about adding text to images. Thank you for sharing your work, it's so creative! And the other work you showed was original and gave me a lot to think about.
—MG (Brooklyn)
I wanted to thank you for the class and for pushing me toward this new way (at least for me) of working on my personal story/project. I’m really excited to literally dive into it. Thank you for your time and support, your advice has been super helpful.

Fred is more than just a professor or a teacher. His words are honest, and his care for his work is deeply real. He treats his students as a collective force, not just individuals in a classroom. He truly sees their shared strength and believes in their voices, and he understands that their differences are a source of power. Fred is a genuinely real human being, and that is what makes learning from him so meaningful.
