dSLR, reverse lens macro, fine art print by Li Gao.

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.
