What our students say about our teachers
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)
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)
Fred is more than just a professor or a teacher. His words are honest, and his care for his work is deeply real. He treats his students as a collective force, not just individuals in a classroom. He truly sees their shared strength and believes in their voices, and he understands that their differences are a source of power. Fred is a genuinely real human being, and that is what makes learning from him so meaningful.
—Walaa (New York City)
Over the past year I have learned that participating with other image makers is an essential part of my photography practice. I particularly like the way Strudelmedia classes combine valuable skills with individual attention.
—Grace (New York City)
I really enjoyed Zuzana’s class. The subject matter was a 100% match for the type of work I’ve been focusing on lately, and Zuzana is an excellent teacher — prepared, knowledgeable, engaging, and funny.
—Christine (New York City)
