Category Archives: Teaching I am excited to share that I will be teaching Intuitive Lens in person at The Taproot Gathering hosted by Squam Art Workshops this September, on Squam lake in New Hampshire! Yipee! If you love farm to table, simple mindful living, you will LOVE this gathering of likeminded beautiful souls. The Taproot Gathering is a collaboration between… After many requests for tips on how to use a camera in manual mode- I have developed an online class, with the help of Squam Art Workshops, that will teach you how!!! Hope you can join me for Intuitive Lens! INFORMATION and REGISTRATION Intuitive Lens with Thea Coughlin from Squam on Vimeo. This looks awesome Thea! Nice job. xo Two weeks ago I taught my first photography workshop: Spirit Session, at Squam Art Workshops in New Hampshire. I am so pleased with how things unfolded. I was astounded by the bravery and courage my students showed up with. They were open about their passions, fears and desires and stayed willing to learn despite the… <3 – I'm so proud of you!  Squam Art Workshops (Squam) Celebrates it’s 5th year Anniversary this coming year. To celebrate a new website was launched and it is remarkably beautiful. There will be 4 – that’s right-4 retreats in 2012! Amazing. There are so many interesting classes with the highest caliber of instructors. I am honored and beyond excited (clapping and… I am so glad this class is being offered at Squam, so many people have camera but are unsure of settings, etc. YOU are an amazing teacher and are perfect for this! Plus, the sprit sessions ~ Thea, you have a way of making everyone you work with feel at ease and feel beautiful. You know how to connect, and the end result is a great experience and gorgeous photos!!!!! xoxoxox Meghan, At the beginning of the class, I will give instruction on Aperture, Shutter and ISO and explain how each setting affects an image. After this each person will be guided to pick one or two things to work on experimenting with during class. This could be trying out aperture mode, playing in manual mode, using a reflector, experimenting with creating high key or low key images. This will allow each person, no matter what level of experience, to be able to challenge themselves with me right there to help them through! I will be happy to help anyone who feels unsure of what to focus on. Then we will go outside to practice! Using some photo prompts we will adventure outdoors to play with light. I will share the settings I choose for each image we work on and then you will have some time to have fun and experiment yourself. I will be there checking in to help in any way I can with camera settings, composition and to provide feedback. At the end of class we will spend the remaining time, sharing our work with each other and reflecting on what we have learned. Please let me know if you have any further questions. I’m interested in taking your class at Squam. Congrats on teaching there!!! I was wondering if you could share a little more about what the class will be like…will the day have some specific instruction and/or critique/feedback? I’ve been working on my photography for a couple of years, so am not a total newbie but I’m not a beginner either. Is the class more geared to very new photographers? I know I have lots to learn and am really looking for a space to help me grow. Thanks! Thea! Your class sounds so, so good. |
