Ordinary Magic: Introduction to Macro Photography
"I really believe there are things that nobody would see if I did not photograph them." - Diane Arbus
During this class we are combining two topics in one transformative photographic experience: Mindfulness and Macro Photography. Get ready to go slow, see deeply and experience a shift in how you perceive the phenomenal world. Participants will explore the art of creating extremely close-up images, magnifying small subjects to reveal their intricate details and textures. This is also a great class if you have been wanting to go off Auto mode and learn to use aperture priority to have more creative control over your depth of field (how much is in focus).
This class is great for photographers, artists at heart, or the curious wanting to explore the symbiotic relationship between contemplative practice and photography. You can use whatever camera that is available to you, including your cell phone.
