What our students say about our teachers

Kat Shannon did a superb job. She is an excellent photography instructor. She is thoroughly prepared and is creative in her content and assignments/prompts. She has considerable depth in her photography knowledge and is articulate and stimulating. She is kind. I will definitely consider another class with Kat.

—June (New Jersey)

I really enjoyed Néstor’s class! He is great at giving us focus and direction.

—Ellen (New York City)

I enjoyed this class tremendously — Kai is an excellent teacher. He provided lots of examples to demonstrate the task at hand and his handouts were extremely thorough. He documented the work in such a way that you felt he was in your home conducting a one-to-one tutorial session. Thank you for the opportunity to engage in such a positive experience in my photography journey!

—Marilyn (The Bronx)

Thank you, Anja, for the tip to take the course “Experimenting in the Visual Laboratory” with Anita! A really, really great course in which I tried out a lot of things that I would never have thought of myself. I learned a lot about my camera and photography in general and took home a ton of inspiration and ideas. It’s a shame that tomorrow is the last class.

—Christina (Munich)

Loved Stefan’s class! I really appreciate the mix of hands-on work — a.k.a. making photos — and his more conceptual lectures. For me that is the ideal combination.
