What our students say about our teachers
Thank you for a great class — this is a great thing to be able to do now and I know it’s something I’m going to continue doing.
—David (Westchester)
Kai’s “Summer Nights, Through a Lens” was such a great experience! I really appreciated the insights and impulses Kai shared with us. They inspired us to go out shooting in the evenings and at night, and the diversity of the resulting photos was truly astounding. My favorite part was Kai’s reviews of all the submitted photos. His perspectives were so helpful for analyzing and understanding images more deeply, which in turn sparked so many new ideas to keep in mind while out shooting.
—Lars (Germany)
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)
Kai’s class was the best. Perfect format and class flow.
—Sheila (New Jersey)
Bryan is an excellent instructor, and it’s been a pleasure to learn from his experience. It is a valuable course, and I have a better starting point for organizing my archive.
