During this workshop you will discover how to capture the smallest beauty around you – with only your smartphone and a macro lens attachment: dewdrops on a leaf, the rhythm of veins, the calyx of a flower or the structure of moss.  

The workshop will take place in Botanical Garden Trompenburg, opposite the Woudestein/EUR campus.

What can you expect?

  • Playing with perspective: how do you see more by looking differently?  
  • Macro photography with your smartphone: tips for using a macro lens attachment that you can borrow.  
  • Composition & light: simple techniques to make your photos more powerful.  
  • Stop & wonder: because good photos start with looking carefully.  
  • Creative post-processing with the Snapseed app.

No experience required – just a curious eye and a charged smartphone. 

What do you bring?  

  • Your smartphone with the app Snapseed installed.  
  • Possibly: power bank, water bottle, notebook
