How to photograph close-up objects without a macro lens? Reverse Lens Macro Photography

September 14, 2021

How did I create that soft and dreamy look resembling of paintings in my plant fine art collection? It’s called Reverse lens macro photography!

Reverse lens macro photography is a technique that turns any lens into a macro lens, simply by mounting the lens to the camera body in the opposite orientation. Using this method with my analog 35mm camera and digital SLR, I created some beautiful darkroom film prints and fine art digital prints. You can view and directly purchase these limited editions original artworks

Thanks for reading. Until next blog!
