Dive into the essential basics of macrophotography with Luc Pouliot. A curious and self-taught photographer, Luc Pouliot explored various types of photography before specializing in macrophotography, and in particular, insect photography. His work has been featured in several exhibitions, allowing a wide audience to appreciate this miniature world. In this workshop, he invites you to immerse yourself in this captivating world and discover his techniques, tips, and approach to capturing the infinitely small with impact.

The first theoretical part will allow you to better understand the technical principles that make all the difference: depth of field, focus, light management, and mastering the exposure triangle in a macro context.

Through clear and practical explanations, you will learn how to optimize your equipment and settings to obtain sharp, well-exposed, and richly detailed images. An essential step to building a solid foundation and developing a more precise perspective on the world around you.

The second part will be a guided hands-on workshop.

Through a series of practical exercises, you will experiment with key macrophotography techniques: controlling depth of field, different focusing approaches, and an introduction to focus stacking. You will observe, test, and adjust your settings in real-world situations to better understand the impact of each technical decision. This workshop will allow you to consolidate your knowledge and gain confidence in creating more controlled and impactful macro images.
