Close-up Photography, Art & Practice

Instructor: Ctein

Care and knowledge are the keys to good close-up photography. This 2-day workshop will demonstrate techniques for getting technically successful and artistic close-up photographs, both in the studio and in the field. The workshop will cover choice of equipment, depth of field considerations, diffraction limits, exposure issues, vibration and camera movement, and how to make the most of natural lighting.

Full equipment will be provided for demonstrations, but students are encouraged to bring their own close-up gear for discussion. They will be able to test their cameras and lenses to evaluate their sharpness and determine the optimum settings for their own close-up work.

This workshop is suitable for both digital and film photographers, although film photographers will not be able to develop their film on-site.
