What our students say about our teachers

I want to thank you for this amazing class! I learned so much that I can put to use right awayas well as things that I know I can use later. Your expertise was shared with such clarity and patience — you made the many tools feel so accessible. Watching you walk through the process was so helpful during class and especially when rewatching the steps afterwards — and your handouts are amazing!

I really enjoyed Néstor’s class! He is great at giving us focus and direction.

—Ellen (New York City)

Samantha is a warm person — thoroughly knowledgeable in photography and in still life in particular. Her enthusiasm is always apparent, and she always points out new directions for her students' photography projects.

—June (New Jersey)

Since I haven't had the opportunity to study photography formally, I needed a course that would help me acquire an awareness of the composition skills I was thinking about unconsciously. Anja helped me improve my observation skills, both explaining the main elements of composition, with reference to the techniques used by other photographers, and through shooting exercises and group critique, which took me, week after week, to intentionally compose the frame in order to develop a narrative.

This StrudelmediaLive course gave me the opportunity to learn more about photography, and also about myself.
