Macro Photography Workshop

Using lecture and demonstrations, our instructors will guide through the amazing world of Macro Photography. This workshop begins with a lecture covering Macro Photography terminology and equipment which is followed by demonstrations including some in which students will participate in setting up the equipment and making the decisions regarding the camera settings. All of the demonstrations are shown live on a large screen you will be able to see the images and camera settings live as the photos are taken!

Each student will receive a printed copy of our Macro Photography study guide.
