What our students say about our teachers
I want to take more courses with StrudelmediaLive!
—Arturo (Mexico City)
Anja's course helped me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a photographer — the assignments and the feedback helped me to be more honest about my work and challenge myself more. I cannot stress enough how useful her courses would be for anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and photographer. I really enjoyed the interactive part where you can speak and see the other people in class in real time — it really brings up the learning experience.
—Alejandra (Mexico)
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)
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.
—Pat (Northern New Jersey)
