What can you expect from our macro photography workshop?

This workshop is aimed at aspiring macro photographers of a beginner or intermediate level. While comprehensive training and guidance will be provided on the day, it would be useful if all attendees had a basic understanding of the exposure triangle – aperture, shutter speeds and ISO.

The itinerary for the day

11:30-13:30

The first part of the day is classroom-based learning, with James taking you through photography and macro fundamentals.

13:30 - 14:15

Lunch.

14:15 - 17:30

The remainder of the afternoon will be spent putting the learning into action with a practical session. Expect lots of hands-on and image-making opportunities.

What will you learn?

The day will provide a comprehensive grounding in macro photography. James will cover a wide range of techniques and ideas, starting with a recap of basic exposure settings, before diving into specifics including macro vs close-up, fundamental equipment needs, magnification ratios, lighting and flash.

For the practical part of the workshop you will receive picture-taking advice, including which camera settings to use, tips for accurate focusing, depth-of-field control, compositional guidance, and how to keep backgrounds clean and uncluttered will also be discussed.

What kit do you need?

You’re welcome to bring your own set-up, although a selection of the latest FUJIFILM cameras and lenses suitable for this type of photography will be available on the day. We’d suggest the XF30mm F2.8 R LM WR Macro, 60mmF2.4 R Macro, XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro lenses are ideal, but close-focusing optics and XF extension tubes are also suitable.

Tripods and lighting equipment will be provided for the practical session in the afternoon.
