What our students say about our teachers


Néstor’s Lightroom Classic course just ended and I can’t say enough about how much he taught us — through both the ease with which he walked us through the many aspects of the program but also his ability to listen and use our images and our questions to deepen and extend the learning. It’s a rare teacher who can include the students’ individual needs into their carefully planned agenda — and he does just that!
—Grace (New York City)
Thank you so much! Learned so much so quickly!  
—Tina (New Orleans)
I enjoyed Peter’s class “Creative Color Photography.” It was well structured and provided a solid foundation in color theory without going into excessive detail. He was well organized and provided stimulating class assignments and critiques. He was responsive to our questions and supportive of our work product. I certainly improved in my post-processing of color images. All in all a solid addition to the StrudelmediaLive class offerings.
—Lewis (New York City)
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)
I was happy to have discovered StrudelmediaLive and the Cameraless Photography class with Daura and Samanta! Thank you both for the enthusiasm, knowledge, and hard work you put into the class. I appreciated the materials you put together for each lesson — they were really thorough and looked wonderful — and that you posted them quickly. Thank you also for your observations and insights that you shared with each of us based on our individual styles and concepts. I was happy to have been in the class and expand on my knowledge of cameraless processes. You make a good team! If you teach another class or have exhibitions, please let me know.
—Marta (US)
