In this program, OM SYSTEM Ambassador Emilie Talpin will explore how macro photography reveals the hidden details of insects, plants, and textures that often go unnoticed in daily life. In this talk, you’ll learn what macro photography is, the essential gear and camera settings to get started, how light and composition transform close-up images, practical tips for photographing nature respectfully and creatively, and how to view your own backyard or garden as a world waiting to be discovered.

Whether you’re a photographer seeking a new challenge or simply curious about the wonders of the macro world, this talk will leave you with fresh perspectives and the inspiration to look closer, begin your macro journey, or learn new techniques to elevate your images.

The afternoon will be entirely hands-on, so participants can apply what they’ve learned.
