What our students say about our teachers

Online classes take many forms, but the best I've experienced have been live online classes with a small cohort of dedicated students and a committed teacher. I've used online classes to help push projects forward, solicit objective feedback from teachers and fellow students, and to explore new approaches to capturing images and building my skills.

I've been enjoying all of the courses that I take through StrudelmediaLive. I find them motivating and fun, and I feel part of a community. You are building something wonderful.

—Cristina (Minneapolis)

This class was really exceptional — Stefan was extremely well-prepared, very thorough and taught with great enthusiasm and care on a university level; great assignments and class critique plus post-class emails. This was on a new level of online learning.

—Lisa (New York City)

Thanks for a really helpful class! I enjoyed each session — well designed, with the right amount of photo critique and theory — and I feel much more comfortable handling my camera now. You offered great atmosphere in the sessions and provided really useful feedback and practical tips. Crucial for myself: Photography is getting closer and closer to my heart and I'm eager to keep my photography practice going and keep shooting almost daily to improve – and to find my voice as a photographer. Thank you for helping me taking these next steps! Hope we see each other in future classes!

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.
