What our students say about our teachers

Thank you so much! Learned so much so quickly!

—Tina (New Orleans)

Kai’s “Summer Nights, Through a Lens” was such a great experience! I really appreciated the insights and impulses Kai shared with us. They inspired us to go out shooting in the evenings and at night, and the diversity of the resulting photos was truly astounding. My favorite part was Kai’s reviews of all the submitted photos. His perspectives were so helpful for analyzing and understanding images more deeply, which in turn sparked so many new ideas to keep in mind while out shooting.

The lighting class was excellent. Gianni is both a great photographer and a great teacher. He made what can be a complicated subject understandable. Gianni helped me see where I was making mistakes and helped me understand how to fix them. Thank you so much Anja, and Gianni for this class. I am no longer scared of speedlights, and I feel like I just got a bunch of cool new tools that I can’t wait to try out.

—Deborah (Boston)

I really feel that the classes I’ve taken with StrudelmediaLive have given me the confidence to keep putting my work out there!
