What our students say about our teachers
We just had our last class with Zuzana on the performative self portrait and I am feeling very inspired and driven to continue working on the self portrait — it feels very personal, in a true way. Thank you for giving me the opportunity!
—Eugenia (Berlin)
I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for that community portrait class with Olga. She was so lovely, as were the other students. I learned so much about other photographers and feel so inspired walking away from the class. It got me out into the world, asking strangers to take their photos which has been a dream of mine to get into and I’m excited to see where it might take me.
—Shannon (Arizona)
Thanks for introducing me to the inspiring work of such amazing photographers and helping me find my own voice as a photographer. It was really helpful to hear your thoughts on pictures and how you see and perceive certain images. Your passion for the art of photography really inspired me and the relaxed atmosphere you create within the classes, as well as your way of offering feedback, made it easy to follow and to share one’s own work. I learned a lot and I got some more direction on where I want to go with my photography, and the discussions made me think about the way I want to express myself. My passion for telling people’s stories through pictures and my fascination for the craft and art of photography deepened with this class.
—Stephan (Vienna, Austria)
Loved Stefan’s class! I really appreciate the mix of hands-on work — a.k.a. making photos — and his more conceptual lectures. For me that is the ideal combination.
—Cristina (Chicago)
