What our students say about our teachers

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)

Allen Frame is a treasure — intelligent, deep, perceptive. We’re fortunate that he is on your faculty.

—Lisa D. (Brooklyn)

Thank you, Anja, for the tip to take the course “Experimenting in the Visual Laboratory” with Anita! A really, really great course in which I tried out a lot of things that I would never have thought of myself. I learned a lot about my camera and photography in general and took home a ton of inspiration and ideas. It’s a shame that tomorrow is the last class.

—Christina (Munich)

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.

—Gabrielle (San Francisco)

I loved Lavonne's class on mastering color. She is a selfless, inventive, and no-drama teacher whom I truly appreciated. I have taken many classes in the past and the teacher often wants to be the star … but Lavonne’s approach is to extend to the student a different way of looking at photos via color and, of course, light.
