Macro Photography with Aaron Molenkamp

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.

Join Camera House and Nikon Australia and learn 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.

Led by Nikon Shocol lecturer , you’ll walk away having honed specific technical and creative photographic skills.

Skill Level: Entry level to Intermediate

Please Note:

A selection of Nikon Z series cameras and NIKKOR Z lenses will be available for trial during the session, along with a Nikon representative to answer your questions

Special Offer

Every participant will receive a $99 voucher for use towards Nikon products at Camera House. The voucher is only valid for seven days after the event.
