What our students say about our teachers

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)

Zuzana is excellent. She sees the potential in everyone’s projects and has a multitude of astute suggestions about how things are working and how to make them more effective.

—Kevin (New Jersey)

I have never been more excited in a classroom than in Fred’s. His way of conducting the class, his references, and his general teachings have influenced and expanded my work in ways that make every project I start a complex and exciting endeavour.I entered his course understanding myself as a photojournalist and ended feeling that I could and should do much more than just photojournalism. I am proud to call myself one of his students and know that any person interested in the documentary practices (or just the human condition) will be greatly affected and changed by his ideas.

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.

—Lewis (New York City)

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.
