Macro Photography Course

Learn to use your macro photography equipment directly in the field, taking advantage of the setting of the Geneva Botanical Garden.

From shot to spectacular image.

Our instructors will guide you through the entire macro photography outdoor workflow, with time for theory to lay the foundations followed by guided hands-on practice:

• Defining your subject: do you want to capture the details of a flower, or those of an insect coming to feed on it? Learn when and how to go about capturing the right moments.
• Camera settings: finding the optimal manual settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) for macro.
• Mastering light: using and shaping light to create depth and reveal textures. Learn what equipment can help you elevate your shots.
• Critical focus: achieving the best sharpness, despite the constraints of a shallow depth of field.
• Post-processing: an introduction to editing to enhance your macro images.

Who is this course for?

This macro photography workshop is ideal for:

• Curious amateurs: those who practice general photography and wish to explore the world of macro for the first time, or who have already tried it but struggle to achieve satisfying results.
