What our students say about our teachers

I enjoyed the Interior View class and the sessions very interesting! Bryan is passionate about interiors and has an easy manner, and he offered suggestions for our images that were helpful. The assignments were challenging for me because I have never shot interiors before and never used a tripod — but I learned a lot.

—Sally (New York City)

Loved Stefan’s class! I really appreciate the mix of hands-on work — a.k.a. making photos — and his more conceptual lectures. For me that is the ideal combination.

—Cristina (Chicago)

This has been a great class to finally learn how to put the many images that live on my computer in a book form — Edward lays out a clear and very helpful course to accomplish your own zine or book.

—MG (Brooklyn, NY)

I LOVED Gianni’s lighting class. He is extremely nice and an excellent teacher. He is generous with his time, which is greatly appreciated. I loved the size of the class, and the quality/expertise of the teaching. I learned a lot, and I loved the fact it was an international crowd, with people from all over the world. And, I thought the class was reasonably priced. I was sad that the class ended.

—Gabrielle (San Francisco)

I really enjoyed taking “Architecture and Narrative” with Marianne — she is a very, very inspiring teacher and I want to take more courses with StrudelmediaLive.

—Arturo (Mexico City)
