What our students say about our teachers

The class was amazing…. Emile was incredibly insightful and had so much to share about writing, which I found extremely helpful. The readings were inspiring, and I really enjoyed the assignments and lectures. It was also wonderful to meet the other participants, and I loved getting to see everyone’s work.

—Genevieve (New York City)

I enjoyed the class, and my confidence in working with InDesign is growing — I think that zines will be the perfect medium for me to realize some of my ideas. And thanks for all of your input. It helps me see things in a new way.

—Cynthia (New York City)

Lesly is an amazing teacher and human being. She helped me a lot throughout this process of being a new mother. I hope I’ll keep photographing at home for a long-term project, documenting my son’s life and my motherhood experience.

—Cris (Florida)

Thank you so much for this fantastic photography journey together! I will definitely miss our image & text class next Monday evening. It has been such a really inspiring course. I learned a lot from all of you and am really grateful for all the precious feedback you gave me about the project. I will keep them in mind while working on the next steps.

—Sara (Rome)

Bryan is an excellent instructor, and it’s been a pleasure to learn from his experience. It is a valuable course, and I have a better starting point for organizing my archive.
