Attended: Digital Photography II: Mastering Manual Mode At Night - Just wanted to log my review of Mindy’s night shooting class. I’ve been a photograph for 40 years, with many exhibitions. Mindy’s class has totally - and simply - retooled my approach to night shooting to great effect. Hank P.

Attended: Intro to Smartphone Photography - This is a perfect class for a true beginner. The instructor, Sepia, is patient andknowledgeable. He managed to meet everyone's needs with grace and consideration. I would welcome a part 2 to this introductory class.  Nancy G.

Attended: Intuitive Photography: Grand Central Terminal - Teacher was outstanding - So glad I took the course - Found it to be very beneficial. Pat D.

Attended: Intuitive Walk About: Brooklyn Bridge - I recently took the class on photographing the Brooklyn Bridge with Kim Kiwon. This was my first time to experience this type of photography and was unsure of what to expect. Kim made me feel very comfortable and guide me through a great experience. I feel more confident in getting out to shoot more. Thank you, Kim. I will definitely take another class when I'm back in NYC. Lulu B.

Attended: Intuitive Photography: Metropolitan Museum of Art - Another great class with Mindy. She not only shows you the ins and outs of photography but helps you open the doors to your creative being. Matthew R.

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - Great course and very helpful as an intro into photography. Danielle P.

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - Michele is an amazing teacher. She gives thorough explanation through her class, and is always ready to assist you on a one-on-one level. I entered the class not knowing much about photography, but left with basic knowledge to get started with my art. Kevin H.

Attended: Intuitive Walk About: South Street Seaport - The NYC Seaport Walk by Kiwon Kim was excellent. Teacher Kiwon did an excellent job describing and conveying the course using "intuitive" photography. I taken a couple of courses at this school and finally beginning to understand the intuitive role of photography and Kiwon did a great job enforcing the message. Her detailed approach to spiral and observed the surrounds for a personal and great shot will be part of my shooting focus. Thanks Kiwon for your patience and help. Paul R.

Attended: Intuitive Photography: Grand Central Terminal - Very much enjoyed the class. Got more out of it than I expected. Mindy was excellent. Harry A

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - I cannot say enough good things about this class - it exceeded by expectations in every way. Mindy is an amazingly knowledgeable & personal instructor who breaks things down in a "real life" way to help students learn the fundamentals about photography without overwhelming you with technical information. I now have such a better understanding of my DSLR camera's functionality and can't wait to explore & practice more! The small class size combined with a casual setting provided the ideal environment to allow me to feel comfortable asking questions and get the most out of the 3 hours. I am already thinking about the next class I can take with her. Thank you, Mindy!! Erika H.

Attended: Intuitive Photography: Grand Central Terminal - Great insight and information. Ronnie A

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - Mindy was a great teacher. Her into course is great for someone who has never understood the intricacies of the functions of your DSLR. She really teaches without using too many technical terms and makes it easy for you to understand the content, along with the handout. She also knows the functions of your camera and will help you understand them no matter what brand - and even if she does not know - she takes the time to do so. I felt a lot more empowered of not using my camera in "Auto" mode and know how to take better photos from here on. Thanks Mindy! Rajiv F.

Attended: Intuitive Photography: Governors Island - I'm glad my intuition led me to sign up for Mindy's class yesterday at Governor's Island. It turns out her philosophy of photography is a lot like my own, but working with her gave me fresh perspective and a new impetus to get out there and SHOOT. - Gordon R.

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) -I took the beginner class with the hope of being able to use the manual mode of my camera with confidence, and with an understanding of exactly what I was trying to control. This has been achieved. Michele is a great teacher. Mike W.

Attended: Intuitive Photography: Grand Central Terminal - I loved this class! Mindy is such an awesome teacher. I've really never approached photography like she teaches and it's such an inspiring learning experience. I would recommend this course to everyone! Meredith P.

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - Loved this class and learned how to use manual all the time without feeling overwhelmed! Sutrice B

Attended: Intro to Smartphone Photography The class was fun and informative. The instructor was very helpful addressing the whole group and also making sure to meet individual needs as well! The only thing that would have helped make the class better was a bit of sun! Tameisha M.

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - LOVED this Class....already stopped using the "auto" mode on my camera. Mindy, the instructor, was super-knowledgeable, friendly, and explained things in a clear way. Additionally, we would do in-class "exercises" to ensure we knew how to do things on our own. She would make sure everyone understood each aspect before moving forward. I'd love to take more classes w/ her. Kristen J.

Attended: Intuitive Photography: Grand Central Terminal - Terrific class. Moving forward, I know I will be more mindful of how I take a shot. Mindy is a great teacher, and I know there will definitely be an improvement in my photos. Am eagerly awaiting my next class with her .... Jessica M.

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - This class is really worth taking for all the photography beginners. Mindy was truly informative, and her explanation was very easy to understand. I will definitely come back for more classes with her! Jonathan A.

Attended: Intro to Smartphone Photography - I was initially skeptical about a class in smartphone photography--point & shoots & SLRs are one thing, but camera phones?--but there was actually a lot to learn (which really shouldn't surprise anyone given how advanced these cameras are nowadays). It was nice to have the class on Governors Island, on a mostly sunny day, which helped with the class. The course instructor, Sepia Prince, was great; not only is he a really cool guy, but, as a professional photographer, very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the class for anyone interested in taking better photos with their phones. Highly recommended. Yoni

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - I went in with zero understanding of my DSLR camera. Mindy is a great teacher and made digital photography make sense, I wish I took this class years ago! Dana D.

Attended: Digital Photography I: An Introduction (Beginners) - Mindy is an incredible teacher. In just 3 hours, I left feeling completely confident that I understood how a camera works, and will never have to use Auto again. Sure enough, 8 days later, I am still able to pick up the camera and remember how to adjust each setting and which settings impact which parts of the photography process. I can't wait to take another one of Mindy's classes!! Arielle
