Phone Photography - The Magic of Macro Photography - 14.11.26

The Magic of Macro Photography

This session invites you to see your natural world in a wildly different way. Using clip-on macro lenses (provided), we’ll explore the tiny details that often go unnoticed. There is hidden beauty in the world around us and we are missing it. You’ll learn how to focus up close, compose thoughtfully, and bring a sense of wonder to your images. It’s a playful, eye-opening workshop that deepens your creative observation and sharpens your photographic technique.

• Composition Guides

• Other camera options

• Highlighting your Point of Interest (POI)

• Aesthetic POIs

• Apply basic editing

This session also includes an editing session to help you enhance your work!
