Lensbaby Macro Photography Workshop

Saturday March 12th, 10am-2pm • Hunt’s Photo, Melrose

Instructor: Emily Hojnowski

Featuring hands-on instruction on everything macro!

Recommended prerequisite: Basic knowledge of your camera

Group Size: Limited to 8 attendees

Workshop Description
Lensbaby lenses are a unique series of lenses, available for most camera systems that give a variety of looks and effects. From swirling bokeh to dramatic vignettes, velvety glows to swirly blurs, and often with a bright sharp center, these lenses present a unique style for the user experience. Lensbaby lenses are also not always the easiest to use or understand and require a lot of practice and fine-tuning.
In this workshop, we will be working exclusively with Lensbaby to create Macro (and Tabletop) images. We will begin with a demo discussing using Lensbaby, how to factor in lighting, and creating macro setups, and then dive right into individuals photographing their own setups.
This will be an excellent way to workshop your lens and is recommended for anyone that has struggled with or has questions on Lensbaby!

COVID-19 Policies on Masks and Social Distancing
Until further notice, we will be requiring masks for our indoor classes. We also ask that you socially distance whenever possible.
As always, if you are sick or feeling unwell, STAY HOME! We will gladly give you a credit towards a future class.
