Macro photography is a genre that almost anyone can try, and it can open up a whole new world of subjects and opportunities, all hidden in plain sight. This great video features an experienced macro photographer discussing four reasons why the genre is so addictive.
Coming to you from Michael Widell, this great video discusses four reasons why you should consider trying out macro photography. My favorite reason is the sheer abundance of subjects available. You don’t have to travel to a remote location or reserve a model to enjoy the genre. We are constantly surrounded by interesting topics at your fingertips or a short walk out your door. And it becomes addictive to see new perspectives of ordinary objects that you are used to seeing every day. Even if it’s not something you plan to do professionally, consider putting a macro lens in your pocket the next time you’re hiking or the like; You may discover more photo opportunities than you think. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Widell.
