Class Overview:

This class is a deep dive into fine art macro photography - an invitation to slow down, observe with intention, and create meaningful work. Discover how to transform ordinary moments into art and capture the quiet beauty that often goes unnoticed.

Discover the art of seeing differently through macro photography. In this class, we’ll slow down and lean in - literally and creatively - to explore the quiet, often-overlooked beauty in the world around us. Whether you’re capturing the delicate veins of a leaf, the swirl of a flower petal, or the sparkle of a wedding ring, macro photography invites you to find wonder in the smallest spaces.

You’ll learn how macro photography can be a meditative practice - grounding, calming, and creatively fulfilling - as well as a valuable tool in your professional toolkit. This class is perfect for nature lovers, detail seekers, and photographers looking to expand both their creative perspective and their portfolio. Get ready to see the world in a whole new way.
