Get ready to open up a whole new world of photography!
Do you wish you could capture those beautifully detailed macro shots, but don’t know where to start? Or perhaps you’ve dabbled, but your photos aren’t quite as impressive as you'd like! Or maybe you just want to be able to slow down and notice the beauty that is all around you?
If you answered yes to any of those, then this online, self paced macro workshop is for you!
In it I’ll take you behind the scenes and share the must-know techniques for focusing, lighting and editing macro photos, along with step by step guides and pullbacks for many macro shots, so you'll have all the knowledge and inspiration you need to take those awe-inspiring macro photos you’ve been dreaming of!
Imagine this...
Scrolling through your macro images, asking yourself, “WOW. Did I really take that?!” (And, why, YES, yes you did)
Having your eyes opened to noticing the smallest details, and appreciating the beauty that is literally everywhere around you in your daily life.
Managing to make magic out of the most mundane, everyday items in your home or backyard, or by using minor additions that don't cost the earth.
Being to able to create cool macro effects, shoot at any time of day, and use show stopping editing techniques to make your photos their best.
Feeling soothed and relaxed as photographing macro becomes more therapeutic than frustrating.
Wowing with your close up creations and feeling like a whole new world of photography has opened up for you!
Macro photography changed the way I see the world.
When I first discovered macro 10 years ago, I felt like a whole new world had opened up for me.
It allowed me to slow down and truly see and appreciate the beauty that is around me every single minute of every single day. In fact, these days I can spot interesting details to photograph all around me, without even having to leave my home!
But my first macro photos were less than impressive. (I truly did think my macro lens must be broken because it didn't seem to get the tack sharp macro images I wanted!)
There ARE some special considerations for macro (as your exposure settings, your focusing techniques and use of lighting is all different) but the good news is, once you learn these simple tweaks, macro becomes a heck of a lot easier, and you'll get much better results.
I created Everyday Macro Magic to give you literally EVERYTHING you need from inspiration to edit, so you can take gorgeous, show-stopping macro images with ease!
INTRODUCING
Everyday Macro Magic
Go behind the scenes and learn the shooting, lighting and editing techniques for capturing awe-inspiring macro photos, and start finding the beauty around you everyday!
Everyday Macro Magic combines core video trainings with unique "macro missions" and editing videos, to give you everything you need to nail the nuances of macro, and create those WOW shots.
We’ll dive deep into the universal principles of macro, such as focus, depth of field and lighting, so you can learn to shoot any subject you imagine, from flowers to food. Then you can get inspired with our macro missions: step by step guides that give you specific shooting techniques to try, along with pullbacks and examples, so you've got plenty of ideas and inspiration to get out there and experiment with macro!
Finally, we'll wrap up with some editing techniques that will allow you to add extra flair and polish to your macro creations.
And as our goal is "everyday" macro, nothing needs specialised equipment like focusing rails or artificial lighting (but you'll need a macro lens, filter or extension tubes!) so you can start to photograph beautiful macro photos of the world around you TODAY!
The good news is...
You don't need expensive macro gear to take this course!
With Everyday Macro Magic, you won't need expensive, specialised equipment like focusing rails, twin flash units, dedicated macro lenses or artificial lighting to create magical macro photos.
The ONLY thing you'll need is a macro lens. You can buy specialised macro lenses, but if you don't have one (and you don't want to make the investment) the good news is you can turn almost any lens into a macro lens with inexpensive filters or extension tubes, from as little as $15! (Don't worry, we give you details of all the options in our bonus Macro Gear Guides, so you can pick the one that suits you - and your wallet - best)
And as our goal is "everyday" macro, you won't need anything else (apart from a few regular household items like oil or sparkling water for our Macro Missions) which means you can create beautiful macro photos for under $20.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a macro lens?
To get the most from this workshop, you'll benefit from having either a dedicated macro lens or extension tubes for your existing lens. We have details of macro lenses and more wallet friendly alternatives (from $15 to $70) in the course. That said, you can absolutely take this workshop with a regular lens! You won't get quite the same results as your lens won’t be able to focus as close as it needs to for true macro photography, but it can still be beautiful!
What are the Macro Missions?
The macro missions are challenges that focus on implementing a single type of macro photo, from flowers to abstract art with oil and water. Each guide gives you a list of what you'll need, step by step set up instructions, suggested camera settings, pull back images and example photos with camera settings where appropriate. There's no particular order to the missions and you can do whichever one you want first, or skip any that you don't like!
What software do you use in the editing videos?
I use Lightroom Classic and Photoshop in the editing videos, but my focus is not to teach you those programs, but instead, give you a behind the scenes look at how I edit my macro photos, and ideas for you to try! You can take the concepts and apply them to your own editing software. (Although if you DO use LR and PS, then you can just follow along!)
Do I have access to everything at once or is the content dripped out each week?
As soon as you join us, you get instant access to all the modules and lessons, so you can roll up your sleeves and get started today!
What if I'm not happy with the course?
If you’re not satisfied with the course after 7 days, you can email us to request a full refund!
How long do I have access to the content?
You'll get "lifetime" access to the course content. To be clear, this is not your lifetime or my lifetime - it's the lifetime of the program! If we do ever decide to retire the program, you'll get plenty of notice and be able to download ALL of the course materials, including the videos, so they are always yours to keep!
I really don't want to buy lots of equipment! Will I need anything else!
You will want a macro lens or extension tubes / close up filter to get the most out of this workshop but you won't need anything else! Some of our macro missions will require you to use everyday items that you will likely already have, or minor, inexpensive additions (like sparkling water or coloured paper!) The goal of Everyday Macro Magic is to see beauty in what's around you, and shoot it with what you have around you :-)
What happens after I buy? How do I access the course?
As soon as you checkout you get instant access to the entire program immediately in our online course portal! We'll also send you a confirmation email, with a link to the course portal, so you can log back in at any time and continue your journey into creating macro magic!
I have all your other courses - is this a repeat?
If you have all my other courses there will be some repeat information in the core trainings (since all photography genres use the same foundational skills!) but you'll learn how to apply these concepts to macro specifically, with extra info that just covers macro, plus the macro missions are completely new and unique!
I have a different question!
No problem - just click on the Message Me button on the bottom right of this screen to get in touch!
