What our students say about our teachers
Liz’s bookmaking class was fabulous. She is a tremendous artist and an incredibly patient instructor, and she’s clearly an expert in her field. She is kind and friendly, and it was a terrific way to begin my Saturday mornings. I have many ideas for future projects!
—Kathryn (Colorado)
I truly enjoyed this course! Erin did a wonderful job at providing us with an overview of landscape photography through the readings, artists she referenced, and assignments. It was also really nice to see everyone’s work and engage in conversation. Erin’s course pushed me to think more deeply about the elements of a photograph.
—Nancy (The Bronx)
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)
Dortje is an excellent lecturer and was thoroughly prepared for each session. This class with her was interesting, and learning about the history of photo exhibitions of merit was rewarding. Dortje gave us the challenge of preparing a short lecture, which was a stimulating exercise since it had us transfer classroom information into real life experience. My understanding of the history of photography has been greatly expanded by having had two classes with Dortje.
—Lenore (San Francisco)
Zuzana is an experienced and inspiring teacher who motivated us a lot to find our true artistic voice by connecting with something essential and at the same time showing us many opportunities to be creative. I can’t believe that I could approach a very difficult personal topic and transform it with photography.
