What our students say about our teachers
Thank you for this interesting course — Stefan certainly gave us a lot of information and a lot to think about. I wish the course was even longer!
—Suzette (New York)
I wanted to thank you for all of your expertise and advice! You certainly helped move my photography to a much more authentic and insightful level and your endless support and encouragement keep those creative wheels turning and my photographic passions burning.
—Glen (Toronto)
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)
The lighting class was excellent. Gianni is both a great photographer and a great teacher. He made what can be a complicated subject understandable. Gianni helped me see where I was making mistakes and helped me understand how to fix them. Thank you so much Anja, and Gianni for this class. I am no longer scared of speedlights, and I feel like I just got a bunch of cool new tools that I can’t wait to try out.
—Deborah (Boston)
