What our students say about our teachers

Anita's Documentary Storytelling class is a creatively refreshing exploration of how to broaden your documentary practice…. She helped me think more holistically about the work I was creating. I felt as though her class nurtured an artistic side of my practice that’s often lost in discussions of technical expertise, photo critique, and sequencing. She digs deep and helps her students create more powerful projects.

I really enjoyed taking “Architecture and Narrative” with Marianne — she is a very, very inspiring teacher and I want to take more courses with StrudelmediaLive.

—Arturo (Mexico City)

Daura and Samantha have mastered the not-so-easy task of teaching a class in craft processes very well. They were a good team and guided us through the different processes of cameraless photography with a lot of enthusiasm, youthful drive, and excitement. The documents we received were excellent. Both of them were also very helpful and guided our first steps in a benevolent manner. I really enjoyed the course, I had a lot of fun trying out the different methods, and the results are impressive.

Kai’s classes were terrific. The group was a good mix of levels of experience. I learned a lot, and realized how much I have yet to learn. I was inspired!

—Bob (New York City)

While I was editing a long-term project that eventually became a photo book, Allen Frame was consistently supportive and generous with insightful, inspiring advice that helped me think more deeply about my subject. Because the project involved exploring my personal past, the process was at times psychologically and emotionally challenging. Allen’s guidance, along with the thoughtful responses of my fellow photographers in the class, gave me the support I needed to keep going.
