Portrait of a Photographer: Laura Swift, Virginia CONFIDENCE Teacher

Me Ra Koh

One of the most wonderful parts about working with a team of women, our CONFIDENCE Teachers, is how they are constantly lifting each other up.  Allison Gallagher, one of our two Virginia teachers, has started a new feature on her blog where she does a Q&A with each teacher.  One of her first teachers was a spotlight on the other Virginia teacher, Laura Swift.  And here is what gets me, when she posted her blog about Laura, she was so excited and emailed me because women contacted her for more information on Laura’s workshops.  She was EXCITED to help her fellow teacher in the same area versus being threatened by it.  I LOVE this!

Lots of people have asked me if there is a “territorial” space given to our teachers to avoid competition, and they are surprised when I say no.  I’m looking at their hearts more than territorial reach.  And how can we go wrong with hearts like these?

Get to know Laura Swift in Allison’s wonderful interview with her!

One of my favorite parts of the interview is her answer for “What do you do to deal with creative blocks?”
