What our students say about our teachers
Lesly's class was great, very inspiring and gave my daily life and family pictures a real purpose. I see the photos in a more artistic way now rather than just being there to document our life and family, and it feels good!
—Lara (France)
I want to thank you [James] for such an inspiring class. You are a wonderful teacher! You brought to the forefront for me just how essential light is in a taking good photos. You also encouraged me to be experimental and I have got to know my camera better as a result. Best wishes for your upcoming photography projects. I hope you’ll be teaching again before too long.
—Anna (California)
Live online photography classes makes learning fun and easy. The best part is that you get to meet and talk with participating photographers from all over the world.
—Ulla (Stockholm)
I really enjoyed Zuzana’s class. The subject matter was a 100% match for the type of work I’ve been focusing on lately, and Zuzana is an excellent teacher — prepared, knowledgeable, engaging, and funny.
—Christine (New York City)
