Macro & Close Up Photography Workshop
Join us for a hands-on macro photography workshop with Mandy Sanders and OM SYSTEM Ambassador Emilie Talpin!
Whether you're bringing a camera, a macro lens, or just your phone, you'll dive into the captivating world of close-up photography. Mandy and Emilie will start with a brief introduction to macro photography before guiding you through practical exercises and offering tips to help you sharpen your skills.
You'll be surrounded by macro opportunities—from water droplet refractions and insects to creative setups using light pads, focus stacking, and bracketing a variety of objects and scenes.
Come learn, explore, and put your skills to the test in this immersive experience!
Mandy Saunders: A keen amateur photographer and lover of all things macro/nature. She has been shooting OM Systems/Olympus cameras for over 20 years and has been a member of New Hampshire, Maine, and Virginia camera clubs. Recently, she has enjoyed photographing landscapes in Iceland, birds in Cape Cod, and condiments in her kitchen!
Emilie Talpin: Emilie Talpin is an OM SYSTEM ambassador who grew up in Chalon sur Saône, France, the birthplace of Nicéphore Niépce and the first photograph. Despite this background, she got into photography late and, in 2018, joined a local camera club where she met a group of talented photographers and was inspired to dive deeper into the art of capturing moments in time. She attributes part of her success as a photographer to switching from heavy and cumbersome gear to a camera system that is lighter and more versatile. She bought the OMD Em1 Mark II, a wildlife and a macro lens, and has never looked back. She is particularly interested in macro photography, especially in the art of capturing water drop refraction.
