The Charleston Center for Photography

Macro photography unlocks an extraordinary world of tiny details hiding in plain sight. Discover how to see everyday objects with fresh eyes—many incredible macro subjects are waiting just steps away in your backyard or local park.

This one-day, two-part workshop begins with a morning session on essential macro gear and techniques. In the afternoon, you’ll get hands-on experience photographing a curated selection of subjects to put those techniques into practice. No macro lens or special equipment is required. If you’re thinking about buying a macro lens, this class is the perfect place to start so you can choose the gear that truly fits your needs.
