What our students say about our teachers
Thank you, Anja, for the tip to take the course “Experimenting in the Visual Laboratory” with Anita! A really, really great course in which I tried out a lot of things that I would never have thought of myself. I learned a lot about my camera and photography in general and took home a ton of inspiration and ideas. It’s a shame that tomorrow is the last class.
—Christina (Munich)
Dortje is an excellent lecturer and was thoroughly prepared for each session. This class with her was interesting, and learning about the history of photo exhibitions of merit was rewarding. Dortje gave us the challenge of preparing a short lecture, which was a stimulating exercise since it had us transfer classroom information into real life experience. My understanding of the history of photography has been greatly expanded by having had two classes with Dortje.
—Lenore (San Francisco)
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 LOVED Gianni’s lighting class. He is extremely nice and an excellent teacher. He is generous with his time, which is greatly appreciated. I loved the size of the class, and the quality/expertise of the teaching. I learned a lot, and I loved the fact it was an international crowd, with people from all over the world. And, I thought the class was reasonably priced. I was sad that the class ended.
—Gabrielle (San Francisco)
Zuzana is excellent. She sees the potential in everyone’s projects and has a multitude of astute suggestions about how things are working and how to make them more effective.
