What our students say about our teachers

To me, online classes have been a synonym for freedom. Freedom of being where I was, geographically. Freedom of expressing myself through the group discussions and learning by sharing with others and with Anja.

Today, sadly, is the last of Kai’s B&W class — it has been great and he’s an excellent teacher. I rejuvenated some of my Photoshop skills which have been dormant and learned a lot.

—Lisa (New York)

Elizabeth is a wonderfully patient teacher! I am excited to now have an object in my hand that I believe not only reflects my images, but connects and combines them into a story.

—Barbara (Zurich)

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