A Weekend Workshop

Macro photography is the photographing of objects at extreme close-ups, while working around 1:1 ratio and closer, thereby capturing an image on film or digital sensor that is equal in size or larger than the subject being photographed. The workshop will cover equipment such as cameras, close up lenses, macro lenses, diffusers and flash equipment. Technical considerations such as working distance, use of focus, depth of field, composition, lighting and camera support will also be covered.

The course is presented as a TWO day session. Day 1: 4-Hour workshop combining theory lectures, demonstrations and a practical session. Day 2: 3-Hour practical shoot at Kirstenbosch Gardens.

To do this course you need a digital SLR camera, a tripod, macro lens (optional) and flash (optional).

R 1 100 (Includes tuition and lecture notes) Students to pay their own Kirstenbosch entrance fee.
