I thoroughly enjoyed Kat's class. I think she's very personable and a good teacher. Her lessons were always interesting, and the readings and information about various photographers opened up a new area for me re: "pilgrimaging" with my camera. And her critiques were always helpful. Very glad I took the class and I've signed up for her next class.

This course was excellent, and I would/will recommend it to friends.... What I've liked about all of the three classes I've taken through StrudelmediaLive is that they are well-structured and organized. Stefan was exceptionally well-prepared for each session — it was all about teaching the material and he made an enormous amount of material available to the class.

I appreciate how you shared what you had to do to take photos and your whole workflow process. It was kind of like doing an internship with you — getting a real inside look from a person who is shooting for one of the top agencies in the world — without having to wear a bulletproof vest and gas mask.
