LOOK CLOSER: Magnifying the World with a Macro Lens

Whether you’re photographing at home or halfway around the world, the capabilities of modern macro photography makes it easy to create incredible images from almost any subject. In this presentation, Nikon Ambassador, Joey Terrill, and professional photographer Joe Lavine will share subject ideas, creative solutions, and innovative techniques that will transform the small world in front of your camera into larger than life images.
