The Unseen World - August 2024

Exploring Nature Macro Photography

Course starts 8/26/24 and runs for 4 weeks
Weekly Zoom sessions are on Wednesdays at 6pm CST. Sessions are recorded for playback.


  Experience the magical world of macro photography- without props, minimal gear and any environment. Join Sarah Gupta as she shows you how to slow down, relax and manually focus our cameras. She will teach us how to pay attention to the light and make you more keenly aware of the small worlds that surround you.

Allow yourself to get lost in the moment, and seek sanctuary from the chaos of life. Macro photography gives us the opportunity to be resourceful and to see our everyday world with new eyes. A macro lens or close focusing lens is required (smart phones are OK). Students should be familiar with and comfortable shooting in manual mode but not necessary. 

"This workshop will teach you how to SEE the world around you through the art of observation. There is beauty that surrounds us in the details."

Let's polish your images in week four!

Amazing Class!

This was an amazing class and I can't recommend it enough! Sarah is a phenomenal photographer and artist and I felt like she did a fantastic job of sharing her knowledge with us. The course materials were helpful and clear but even better was Sarah's feedback. Between weekly zoom meetings, assignment critique, and even daily feedback on practice shots I really feel that I grew as a photographer during this class. I feel so inspired by everything I learned and definitely recommend this class to everyone!

Terrific course!

I've always wanted to try macro photography. I thought it would be simple, just tiny landscapes, but it's SO much more than that. Sarah is a kind and thorough instructor and this course really helped me learn so much not just about shooting macro, but it opened my eyes about a whole ton of new editing strategies. I recommend this course without reservation! Sarah is great.

Awesome Class

I hadn't done much macro work before this class and it was great to get out and work on some new techniques. I loved the approach of looking for beauty nearby, while on a walk, or just in your own back yard. Video feedback on the homework assignments was appreciated, and very helpful in improving my images. I did find the Friday due date challenging, and most often submitted on Sat or Sun, so that I had time to both shoot and edit my images. I learned a lot and will continue with macro as well as landscapes. Thanks Debbie

Wonderful teacher.

This is an all-encompassing class from in the field to editing. It covered a wide range of skills and topics. If you don't have a macro lens, don't worry, Sarah is creative. She gives you a "test drive" option of the macro word before you invest in a lens. You can easily participate in this class without a macro lens. You won't feel left out because of a lack of gear. There are plenty of "how to and watch me" videos along with opportunities to ask questions. Sarah also gives you that push to the next level. I found it offered an abundance of creative ideas and detailed lesson plans.

Sarah Gupta is a talented artist and a great teacher/mentor. I've enjoyed her class and learned valuable insight into the macro world and how to process each photo to make it a work of art. I definitely recommend this course.

Such a fun class!!!

Sarah is an amazing teacher, but what makes her stand out is how much she cares for all her students! She is highly engaged with each student and gives helpful and useful feedback on everything submitted. She also heavily engages in all the side conversations going on between students, so I felt like I was learned from not only the work I submitted, but everyone else's as well. This class had people of all skill sets when it came to macro and photography as a whole, and I think everyone walked away learning a ton! I would highly recommend this class, or any class taught by Sarah!
