What our students say about our teachers
Fred’s classes are far from the technical aspects of photography; instead, they focus deeply on its ethics. At the core of his teaching is the idea of understanding and connecting what you photograph with how you photograph it.
—Gianluca (Italy)
I wanted to thank you again for sharing your wisdom and your insightful thoughts with me these past ten weeks. I really enjoyed the structure you created for the class. It was also such a nice group of people — everyone was very supportive.
—Karyn (New York City)
Over the past year I have learned that participating with other image makers is an essential part of my photography practice. I particularly like the way Strudelmedia classes combine valuable skills with individual attention.
—Grace (New York City)
Anja's course helped me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a photographer — the assignments and the feedback helped me to be more honest about my work and challenge myself more. I cannot stress enough how useful her courses would be for anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and photographer. I really enjoyed the interactive part where you can speak and see the other people in class in real time — it really brings up the learning experience.
—Alejandra (Mexico)
