Macro Photography Workshop
Discover the wondrous beauty of nature in close-up
Zooming in on photography
This workshop explores the various aspects of macro and close-up photography. In addition to adjusting the settings on our camera we also learn about aperture, depth of field and manual focus. This workshop will also pay particular attention to the creative interpretation of the subject by playing with light and backlight, silhouettes, high-key and creating a beautiful bokeh. Finally, I also provide some information on field knowledge, an important part of macro photography.
Programme
We start the day with a morning session in the field in search of insects which will be much easier to approach and may even be covered with a few dew drops from the previous night. As we start before sunrise, we’ll enjoy the most beautiful hours of the day and we shoot in soft, warm morning light.
Later in the morning when most insects have warmed up and are not so easily photographed anymore, we switch to photographing all kinds of flora. These objects are less sensitive to light and temperature and will reward us with some beautiful pictures. We learn to experiment with bokeh, light and shadow.
Please note: the program of this workshop may change based on the weather conditions or the Corona measures applicable at that time.

Is this workshop right for you?
Suitable for photographers of all levels. However, you should have a macro lens and know where to find the main settings of your camera.
In case of bad weather, there is a chance that the workshop will have to be postponed, so you are expected to keep the entire weekend (including nearby holidays) free. This way I can choose the best day based on the weather and guarantee all participants the best possible workshop.
