Description
The art of macro photography lies in using your camera to make what’s tiny in size look larger than life. After this hands-on workshop, you’ll be able to do exactly that.
Our Nikon School Lecturers will teach you how to optimise your camera settings and lens configurations for extreme close-ups, while helping you develop an eye for effective small-scale compositions. You’ll also start considering the emotion and warmth of your macro shot.
Our aim is that through this specialist workshop, you’ll walk away having honed specific technical and creative photographic skills to help you capture beautiful macro images.
