What our students say about our teachers

I LOVED Gianni’s lighting class. He is extremely nice and an excellent teacher. He is generous with his time, which is greatly appreciated. I loved the size of the class, and the quality/expertise of the teaching. I learned a lot, and I loved the fact it was an international crowd, with people from all over the world. And, I thought the class was reasonably priced. I was sad that the class ended.

Daura and Samanta were a winning tag team combination of enthusiasm, encouragement about everyone’s work, brainstorming the outcomes of assignments and providing real-time solutions, superb materials, and being well-organized in their presentation. I could go on and on, but I can offer no higher compliment than that they are pros at teaching and sharing.

—Kevin (New Jersey)

Thanks again, Anja and Edward, for a wonderful class — I can certainly say that I got what I was hoping for out of it.

—David (New York)

I have learned much from Anja and StrudelmediaLive classes. She and the other teachers are very well accomplished on the technical and artistic sides of photography, helping me to grow in both areas. Anja has a creative mind and is very pleasant to work with — very important traits for a photography mentor. I look forward to more classes with her and the other teachers.

—Jay (Oakland)

I enjoyed Peter’s class “Creative Color Photography.” It was well structured and provided a solid foundation in color theory without going into excessive detail. He was well organized and provided stimulating class assignments and critiques. He was responsive to our questions and supportive of our work product. I certainly improved in my post-processing of color images. All in all a solid addition to the StrudelmediaLive class offerings.
