What our students say about our teachers


As a photographer, I had many stories to tell but I didn't know how to evolve from photo-taker to storyteller. Anja generously shared her experience and through weekly assignments and her constructive critiques, she gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed. I'll always value her guidance as a turning point in my photography career.  
—Jennifer (Monaco)
I thoroughly enjoyed Kat’s class. I think she’s very personable and a good teacher. Her lessons were always interesting, and the readings and information about various photographers opened up a new area for me re: “pilgrimaging” with my camera. And her critiques were always helpful. Very glad I took the class and I’ve signed up for her next class.
—Susan (New York City)
I liked Jolanda’s class a lot. It was intense, with a lot of new techniques. What I most liked about the workshop was to learn new techniques to use on a printed image, to work with fabric and to experiment and practice with new materials. Jolanda was super charming and helpful.  
—Sam (Mexico City)
As a black-and-white photographer without any art education beyond crayons, I knew I needed to learn color someday. Shala taught me how to think and see in color, so I now seamlessly switch between color and black-and-white based on the emotions I’m trying to convey. She excelled at facilitating our group’s discussions and had terrific links to things we needed to read and look at to help us expand our vision. I am forever grateful for her mentoring and guidance.
—Kevin (New Jersey)
I enjoyed the class, and my confidence in working with InDesign is growing — I think that zines will be the perfect medium for me to realize some of my ideas. And thanks for all of your input. It helps me see things in a new way.
—Cynthia (New York City)
