Stretch Your Creative Muscles! (4/26/22)
Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.
This is a new section of this class — previous section sold out!
Feeling a little stiff in your photography practice? Need a push to try something new? Let’s stretch our creative muscles together in this live online photography workshop.
Unique weekly exercises will challenge you to experiment with new techniques and ways of taking pictures, and creative approaches to storytelling — no matter if you’re a beginner or are years into your photographic practice. Through group critique, we’ll analyze composition and we’ll also seek inspiration by examining the work of a variety of photographers. At the end of the class, students will be energized and inspired to expand their photographic vision.
A special highlight of the workshop will be a live, online guided tour through the exhibition “Bieke Depoorter . Agata/Michael” at C/O Berlin (date/time TBA).

I want to tell you again that your class was great. I'm very inspired. Is there any chance you and Edward can continue this class? I don't want it to end!! It encompasses everything I love.
—Lee (California)
I have learned much from Anja and StrudelmediaLive classes. She and the other teachers are very well accomplished on the technical and artistic sides of photography, helping me to grow in both areas. Anja has a creative mind and is very pleasant to work with — very important traits for a photography mentor. I look forward to more classes with her and the other teachers.
—Jay (Oakland)
Anja's class helped me much more than I was expecting. I was a bit lost in proceeding with my raw idea in the beginning, but the classmates from diverse backgrounds were there with me along the whole journey, sometimes as a critic and sometimes as a supporter, and their thoughtful feedback pushed me forward a lot. I recommend Anja's online classes to anyone who wants diverse feedback and the intimacy of the classroom experience.
