What our students say about our teachers
This class was a wonderful experience. It was an intimately sized group (about 6 students), so we all received extensive and personalized feedback, including various references that related to the specific subjects/styles/themes of our work. It gave me the social accountability and courage to start on projects that I have been postponing for many months, for which I am very grateful.
—Aldo (San Francisco)
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.
—Inbal (New York City)
This class was really exceptional — Stefan was extremely well-prepared, very thorough and taught with great enthusiasm and care on a university level; great assignments and class critique plus post-class emails. This was on a new level of online learning.
—Lisa (New York City)
Anja's course helped me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a photographer — the assignments and the feedback helped me to be more honest about my work and challenge myself more. I cannot stress enough how useful her courses would be for anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and photographer. I really enjoyed the interactive part where you can speak and see the other people in class in real time — it really brings up the learning experience.
—Alejandra (Mexico)
To me, online classes have been a synonym for freedom. Freedom of being where I was, geographically. Freedom of expressing myself through the group discussions and learning by sharing with others and with Anja.
—Lara (France)
