Macro Photography Course $129

Macro photography is the way we can “see” the world in a different way. Simple things that we overlook with our eyes become beautiful images through a macro lens. Our course is held in our studio at Warrandyte and combines indoor tabletop macro photography with outdoor work in the garden of our studio.

The class also covers using extension tubes, close-up filters, and other macro methods 

This practical macro photography workshop will be held indoors and out for those who want to learn how to use Macro lenses. We aim to teach you how to take stunning Macro images.
