Close-up or macro photography is a challenging and rewarding genre, but it requires practice and correct technique to get a special image that is sharp and in focus. Depth of Focus can be difficult. Use a small aperture and maybe focus stacking, however, small apertures to get bigger depth of field also cut down the amount of light on the subject. So proper lighting with flash or reflectors can help with unwanted shadows. Any camera you have will do just fine, including your phone. There are “macro” lenses that help with the closeup magnification but are not necessary. Composition is important too to exclude unwanted things and have balance to the photo.

Please bring your camera, a macro or close-up lens, a tripod and a suitable subject to the session. This will be a "Hands-on" shooting session.
