Macrophotography
Objectives
- Discover macrophotography and the principle of enlargement in photography.
- Take photos outdoors using a macro filter focusing on the town’s different materials, surfaces and textures.
- Develop your eye, discover unusual elements that often go unnoticed and allow new compositions to emerge.
- Better understand the town by observing it more closely and seeing the materials that comprise it in a whole new way.
- Work on the notions of abstraction, macrophotography and composition.
- An introduction to the basics of photography and the capacity to analyse images.

Description
Macrophotography is a way of taking close-up photos of very small subjects, for example insects or parts of plants, so that we can observe details that are invisible to the naked eye.
To obtain this magnifying effect, lenses or filters are used that make it possible to focus at a very short distance from the subject. Macrophotography can also be used to magnify the materials that compose larger subjects. Their details take on a whole new dimension when portrayed in a more abstract manner: a close-up of a wall reveals hidden landscapes, blades of grass seem like an immense forest and small grains of sand metamorphose into galaxies. The workshop’s participants will explore the town through the eye of a macro lens and shoot unusual and unique images that will transform the materials that are all around us, but to which we pay little notice.
