What our students say about our teachers


I loved Kat’s class on photography as a pilgrimage. This is one of the most thoughtfully planned and presented classes I’ve ever taken. Kat brings a rich depth of materials, unique assignments, and thoughtful discussions to the classroom, and is exceptional at making conceptual ideas tangible. Kat is a fantastic teacher. She is thoughtful, articulate and poetic. I’ll take anything she teaches.
—Melissa (Chicago)
Helena Goñi is an excellent instructor — knowledgeable, smart, supportive, and informed, with a wide knowledge of photography. I’ve enjoyed this class and would take another class with her.
—June (New Jersey)
I have taken photography classes at most of the renowned schools and organizations in the US, but none are better than those taught by Kai McBride of StrudelmediaLive.  He is an incredibly intelligent and gifted educator who goes out of his way to make every class a memorable experience filled with ‘aha’ moments. Kai has talent galore. Don’t miss his courses!  
—Patricia (Bronx, NY)
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)
When will Marina Thomé teach her next class? She is wonderful.  
—Lisa (New York City)
