What our students say about our teachers
I loved Néstor's class, and in general found that he created a welcoming and supportive course, with lots of great practical advice about our projects. I also appreciated the pace. I find lately that I want to dive deep, and for his class it was helpful to focus on one or two images. And his feedback helped me focus on refining a couple of ideas.
—Cristina (Minneapolis)
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)
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)
Over the past two years I have taken four live online classes and it has been a very rewarding experience. I have especially enjoyed the global nature of these classes, having been in class with photographers from India, Sweden, Monaco, South Korea, and Germany. In addition to improving my photographic skills, I have learned a great deal about the cultures of and conditions in other countries.
—Sheila (Princeton, NJ)
Thank you so much! Learned so much so quickly!
