What our students say about our teachers
The class was great. Néstor is a wonderful teacher, encouraging, critical in the right ways, and super nurturing. I enjoyed class with him so much.
—Kamal (New York City)
I was happy to have discovered StrudelmediaLive and the Cameraless Photography class with Daura and Samanta! Thank you both for the enthusiasm, knowledge, and hard work you put into the class. I appreciated the materials you put together for each lesson — they were really thorough and looked wonderful — and that you posted them quickly. Thank you also for your observations and insights that you shared with each of us based on our individual styles and concepts. I was happy to have been in the class and expand on my knowledge of cameraless processes. You make a good team! If you teach another class or have exhibitions, please let me know.
—Marta (US)
I want to thank you for this amazing class! I learned so much that I can put to use right awayas well as things that I know I can use later. Your expertise was shared with such clarity and patience — you made the many tools feel so accessible. Watching you walk through the process was so helpful during class and especially when rewatching the steps afterwards — and your handouts are amazing!
—Grace (New York City)
The mini-workshop on Tuesday was one of the best I’ve attended…. Not only did Maryna do a great presentation but the books she showed stretched my imagination with new ideas. Thank you for arranging such an interesting presentation!
—Don (Ohio)
I appreciate how you shared what you had to do to take photos and your whole workflow process. It was kind of like doing an internship with you — getting a real inside look from a person who is shooting for one of the top agencies in the world — without having to wear a bulletproof vest and gas mask.
—Deborah (Boston)
