Macro / Close-up photography & macro and closeup scenic photography are some of the most creative and educational and rewarding forms of photography in expressing the world around us.
So many photographers believe that this type of art form is to simply make small things BIGGER on the frame. It’s our goal to dispel this myth.
Macro photography brings all of the elements into place. It does not matter what the subject might be. What matters is how you compose, expose, and utilize depth of field applications to express how you dimensionally perceive this image.
We are here to teach you how to combine all of the above elements so that you create outstanding photographic images. You will learn how to work with your particular camera gear, natural, as well as, portable artificial lighting, and light tents, where applicable.
