What Udemy students are saying about this course:
This course had a lot of great tips and instruction on macro photography for a beginner like me. I’ve learned about cameras and other equipment used in macro photography. The instructor has a vast range of knowledge that he presents in an easy to digest manner. I like how the instructor uses DIY equipment as well as equipment that can be purchased. It gives the student options when first starting out with macro photography. This course is a great reference guide as well. I know I’ll be referring back to it as I practice. If you’re a beginner like me, I highly recommend this course! — Jamie Santellano

Now to get my camera and already purchased gear and go out to find shots and to shop for some new gear that was suggested. Look out world, here I come! — Rudra Tyson

Coverage of the subject is extensive and presented with practicality in mind. Getting into macro photography can be expensive but doesn’t have to be. The experience of the instructor clearly shows. I will be returning to these videos many times.

This course is very informative and helpful. However, assuming that the teacher is a Canon shooter, I hoped he could introduce equivalent equipment (e.g., lenses) for other popular brands such as Nikon, Olympus, Sony etc.

A thorough walk through the basics of camera settings and the relationship between exposure, lens characteristics and distance to subject.

Jay Vadgama –
I really enjoyed the course. I wanted to know more about macro photography and this course privided all the necessary information. Excellent tutor. No messing about, straight to the point!
Peter Blandino –
Second half of the course is an excellent resource. The first half of the course while informative was a deluge of information. Tough to grasp and follow. Very technical. The course is best suited for slightly experienced photographers and not beginners as the technical aspects were a little much to digest. Overall, still an excellent course but will need to refer back to for details.
Mark Brule –
