Meet Your Instructor

Nathaniel (Nat) Coalson is a professional photographic artist and the owner of Gallery Photiq in Royal Leamington Spa, England. Nat's photographic art can be found all over the world, from homes and hotels to corporate offices and healthcare facilities. Nat is an also experienced educator and competition judge who has studied how pictures work for over 40 years.

Nat has helped thousands of photographers cut through confusion and elevate their work—artistically and professionally. He has authored eight books on photography with five in mainstream international distribution, including the popular Nature Photography Photo Workshop and the bestselling series Lightroom: Streamlining Your Digital Photography Process. He is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, an Epson Ambassador and Adobe Certified in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Nat’s approach to teaching photography is rigorous but practical, and it delivers results. His methods are built not only on his decades in photography, but also his professional experience in graphic design, printing and the fine arts.

Nat doesn’t teach gimmicks, and he leaves the basics to others. He teaches artistry. He teaches mastery.
