What our students say about our teachers
I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for that community portrait class with Olga. She was so lovely, as were the other students. I learned so much about other photographers and feel so inspired walking away from the class. It got me out into the world, asking strangers to take their photos which has been a dream of mine to get into and I’m excited to see where it might take me.
—Shannon (Arizona)
I loved Kat’s class on photography as a pilgrimage. This is one of the most thoughtfully planned and presented classes I’ve ever taken. Kat brings a rich depth of materials, unique assignments, and thoughtful discussions to the classroom, and is exceptional at making conceptual ideas tangible. Kat is a fantastic teacher. She is thoughtful, articulate and poetic. I’ll take anything she teaches.
—Melissa (Chicago)
Zuzana’s class was one of the best content classes I’ve taken. It showed me a new approach to self portraits (which I’ve enjoyed making for a long time). Her critiques helped to validate my thoughts to move beyond including myself in all of my “self portrait” photos.
—Don (Ohio)
I've been enjoying all of the courses that I take through StrudelmediaLive. I find them motivating and fun, and I feel part of a community. You are building something wonderful.
