Closeup Photography

One of the biggest photography mistakes is not getting close enough to the subject. This is particularly important when photographing objects with intricate details.

If you shoot from too far away, you won’t capture the amazing details of your subject. Close-up patterns, textures and colors will bring your photos to life.

Flowers, leaves, water droplets and other textured subjects look more exciting up close.

Moving in close is also a good technique to use in portrait photography. Getting close lets you capture your subject’s facial features and emotions. This gives your portrait photos far more impact.

Shooting up close works when photographing both people and pets. Get down to the level of your subject and don’t be afraid to get in close.

Keep in mind that your Camera won’t be able to focus if the lens is too close to your subject. To capture extreme close-ups of tiny detail, you’ll need an add-on macro lens.

Macro lenses allow your camera to focus very close to the subject. There are many different macro lenses on the market.

Of course, for genres like landscape photography, you’ll be photographing distant scenes. But you can still include close-up detail in the foreground. This is a great way to add extra visual interest and a stronger sense of depth.

Don’t be afraid to get up close to foreground objects when you’re shooting scenery. It might make all the difference to your photo!
