Macro Photo Demonstration

with Brian Bemmels, Professor Emeritus, Commerce and Business Administration

Since retiring I have been doing a lot of photography, especially macro photography, including nature photos and studio photos. At a recent meeting of the UBC Emeritus Photo Group, members requested that I do a presentation demonstrating how some of the studio photos were created. They are fairly easy to do. My “macro studio” is one half of a desk in our home office. Subjects include common household items, such as a door stopper (see photo), or scraps of paper (see collage). The presentation will show some of the studio macro images done over the past few years and then show the setup, techniques and lighting that were used for an image, trying to recreate the same (or a similar) image during the presentation. This will Include some images incorporating natural subjects (flowers, seeds, etc.) and some purely abstract images.

If you would like to attend, please let me know at brian.bemmels@sauder.ubc.ca
