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.

Fantastic class! Thank you Anja and Gianni.

—Jay (Oakland)

Lesly's class was great, very inspiring and gave my daily life and family pictures a real purpose. I see the photos in a more artistic way now rather than just being there to document our life and family, and it feels good!

—Lara (France)

Anita's Documentary Storytelling class is a creatively refreshing exploration of how to broaden your documentary practice…. She helped me think more holistically about the work I was creating. I felt as though her class nurtured an artistic side of my practice that’s often lost in discussions of technical expertise, photo critique, and sequencing. She digs deep and helps her students create more powerful projects.

This has been a great class to finally learn how to put the many images that live on my computer in a book form — Edward lays out a clear and very helpful course to accomplish your own zine or book.
