What our students say about our teachers
I really feel that the classes I’ve taken with StrudelmediaLive have given me the confidence to keep putting my work out there!
—Cecily (Portland, Oregon)
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.
—Mayolo (Mexico)
I enjoyed very much the workshop, Marianne is really good, the feedback and her comments helped me a lot in my personal work, I wish I had more classes with her…. this course was a breath of fresh air.
—Lorena (Mexico)
I really enjoyed taking “Architecture and Narrative” with Marianne — she is a very, very inspiring teacher and I want to take more courses with StrudelmediaLive.
—Arturo (Mexico City)
This class was spectacular. Liz is spectacular. She is such an organized and patient teacher. I’m so excited to practice and experiment with the techniques she introduced us to.
—Kirsten (Canada)
