What our students say about our teachers
This class was spectacular. Liz is spectacular. She is such an organized and patient teacher. I’m so excited to practice and experiment with the techniques she introduced us to.
—Kirsten (Canada)
Néstor’s Lightroom Classic course just ended and I can’t say enough about how much he taught us — through both the ease with which he walked us through the many aspects of the program but also his ability to listen and use our images and our questions to deepen and extend the learning. It’s a rare teacher who can include the students’ individual needs into their carefully planned agenda — and he does just that!
—Grace (New York City)
I loved the class and learned so much — not just InDesign technical stuff, but also design and photography aesthetics… it was awesome!
—Bobby (Washington DC)
Thank you Nestor, for a fun and illuminating DIY lighting class. I loved your combined free-wheeling “go for it” approach with the gentle but rigorous critiques. I learned a lot about intentionally “sculpting” with light to create mood and content. I also appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable in showing and talking about your personal work, which meant a lot to me. You created a mini-community of sharing and learning. Muchas gracias!
—Irene (Pennsylvania)
