Workshop Details

Turning Magnification Into Magical Images

When we move in close, the camera reveals intricate details, fascinating patterns, and intense colors unseeable with the naked eye. Magnification can turn an ordinary subject into a fascinating tapestry of color, texture, shape, and dimension. Even the most ordinary subjects can be completely transformed when captured through a macro lens. Macro photography is incredibly fun and it can be done nearly anywhere—rain or shine, day or night, in the garden, or at the kitchen table.
