What our students say about our teachers
When will Marina Thomé teach her next class? She is wonderful.
—Lisa (New York City)
Kat was a fantastic teacher — really smart and super organized. She gave us excellent feedback and provided lots of useful resources as we continue on our photographic journey. i learned so much and am very happy I took this class.
—Nancy (Chicago)
Thanks for a really helpful class! I enjoyed each session — well designed, with the right amount of photo critique and theory — and I feel much more comfortable handling my camera now. You offered great atmosphere in the sessions and provided really useful feedback and practical tips. Crucial for myself: Photography is getting closer and closer to my heart and I'm eager to keep my photography practice going and keep shooting almost daily to improve – and to find my voice as a photographer. Thank you for helping me taking these next steps! Hope we see each other in future classes!
—Stefan (Vienna)
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)
