What our students say about our teachers
Néstor’s class was amazing. His presentations thoroughly captured the range of styles of still life photography and I think he was incredibly thoughtful with his critiques. I really enjoyed the class and am inspired to keep going!
—Jyoti (California)
This class was spectacular. Liz is spectacular. She is such an organized and patient teacher. I’m so excited to practice and experiment with the techniques she introduced us to.
—Kirsten (Canada)
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 wanted to say thank you for your wonderful classes. I knew I was going to enjoy it but didn’t realise how much. Your feedback and the open conversations with the other students was so insightful, it exceeded my expectations, hence I was happy to stay up til 2am!!
