Hands-On Creative Macro Photography with Charles Needle

Sunday, November 3rd | 9:30am-2:30pm | $85 (includes a $10 materials fee) | Held at Cape Cod Art Center

Join award-winning California-based photographer, Charles Needle, in this special one-day hands-on workshop where you’ll learn new creative techniques to craft unusual, striking images and take your close-up photography to the next level.

The workshop will begin with an overview of various macro techniques, followed by shooting demos and plenty of time to photograph in an indoor “studio” with various set-ups involving colored, iridescent and clear textured glass, mylar, glass objects, shells, etc. There will also be colorful backgrounds, fresh-cut flowers, silk flowers, and plenty of other objects to shoot. You’ll feel like a kid in a macro candy store! Topics covered will include: selective-focus macro, “shooting through” with a telephoto lens, close-up lenses/diopters, macro with specialty lenses such as Lensbaby and Taleidoscope lenses, and wide-angle macro.

The workshop runs from 9:30am to 2:30pm, with a one hour break for lunch.
