Captivating Close-ups: Moving Beyond the Record Shot

Written By Angela Nicholson

Presenter: Tracy Calder
With so many technical decisions to make, it’s easy to forget the creative side of close-up and macro photography and settle for a standard record shot. However, with an open mind and a sense of play we can create images that express our unique view of the world and the sense of wonder we feel.

The Photography Show is back at the NEC in 2022 from the 17th to the 20th September for four days packed with demos, workshops and masterclasses - and the chance to shop til you drop. SheClicks will be there alongside the 250 exhibitors (including the big brands plus some fabulous independents selling new and intriguing gadgets) and we'd really love to see you there too. Tickets will be available from the end of April on photographyshow.com and remember, if you're a professional photographer or videographer, you can apply for free entry.
