What our students say about our teachers


While I was editing a long-term project that eventually became a photo book, Allen Frame was consistently supportive and generous with insightful, inspiring advice that helped me think more deeply about my subject. Because the project involved exploring my personal past, the process was at times psychologically and emotionally challenging. Allen’s guidance, along with the thoughtful responses of my fellow photographers in the class, gave me the support I needed to keep going.
—Eri (California)
Kai’s class was the best. Perfect format and class flow.  
—Sheila (New Jersey)
Allen Frame is that rare teacher who makes you see the world differently. He’s deeply intellectual and brings a richness to class discussions by weaving in his vast references to literature, poetry, and other art mediums in ways that have changed how I approach my work. Beyond his expertise, he’s genuinely kind and incredibly generous with his time and knowledge. Taking his class has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
—Susan (Colorado)
Just wanted to let you know that Kai McBride's class on B&W Digital Photography was GREAT. He structured and conducted the sessions in a very organized way and provided an abundance of useful information. The assignments were useful and creative. I would definitely take a class with him again.  
—Barbara (New York)
Just a quick note to say that James Prochnik’s “Poems and Pictures” class was fantastic — he is a gifted teacher and image maker. My work experienced a much needed shift during his class and my fellow classmates were equally committed to making new and exciting work. Not only did he introduce us to largely unknown photographers, he was in the trenches with us. His thoughtful critiques are what I imagine MFA students receive at Yale. This class was exactly what I needed, when I needed it. James embodies what StrudelmediaLive is all about: pushing limits to break creative barriers.
—Kirsten (Canada)
