MUNDOLOGIA Seminar: Macro Photography

How does an unremarkable insect become a fascinating photograph? And how do you discover exciting subjects right on your own doorstep? Professional macro photographer Rafael Steinlesberger demonstrates just how diverse this special form of nature photography is—from subjects in his own front yard to his expeditions into tropical rainforests.

Using numerous examples, he provides insights into his workflow and explains how to find subjects, plan shots, and execute them photographically. The focus is on image composition, perspective, depth of field, lighting, and techniques such as focus stacking and various exposure methods.

Rafael demonstrates his workflow from the initial shot to the finished image and shares stories of nighttime forays through tropical habitats, extraordinary encounters, and the challenges he faces on location.

Responsible interaction with animals also plays an important role: Where are the boundaries between observing, staging, and intervening? A seminar for anyone who wants to understand the technical aspects of macro photography and see the tiny world in front of their lens with new eyes.
