Close-up and Macro Nature Photography with Guy Edwardes

Guy Edwardes will illustrate the techniques he uses for close-up nature photography with 100 images taken around the world. Techniques will include lighting, equipment choice, fieldcraft and composition. He will also show some of the extreme macro techniques he’s been using to open up a whole new world of nature photography for himself during lockdown. There will be time for questions after the presentation.

Guy has been a professional landscape and nature photographer for 25 years, since graduating with a degree in photography. His work has been widely published over the years and he is represented by several leading photographic agencies. He has published two successful books on landscape and nature photography technique.

Guy Edwardes is based in Dorset, but runs photographic workshops all around the world.
