The Unseen World - 2024

Exploring Nature Macro Photography

Course starts 3/18 and runs for 4 weeks
Weekly Zoom sessions are on Thursdays 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!

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.

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!

Wow, I can't say enough wonderful things about Sarah's macro class. She is so responsive to your questions and and anything you're having trouble with. She has stretched my imagination with Macro and now I find it completely addictive. Sarah is so open with her editing tips and keeps things simple and easy to understand. I'm so looking forward to all the new techniques to try and further my learning and creativity.

Great course!

I really enjoy Sarah's teaching style. She gives a ton of tips and tricks that are so helpful. I also feel a connection to her style of editing. Sarah gives her all to this course, despite the frustrations of this platform. The platform issues are of no fault of her own. Sarah definitely sparks your own creativity!

Fantastic Macro Class

Sarah is a fantastic teacher. She shares her skills and knowledge to help the students become better a macro photographer and editor. I learned so much about composition, subject choices, color, lighting and editing. She is encourages each student and spends time reviewing and critiquing the assignments in a video response which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend this course.
