Bryan Peterson - Understanding Close-up Photography -
Creative Close Encounters with or without a Macro Lens

In Understanding Close-up Photography Bryan Peterson turns his attention to a topic that
is an ongoing favorite with photographers. But where most macro photography books focus
on capuring subjects in nature, Peterson promises to go beyond, teaching you to photograph
a range of subjects from animals and plants from the garden, beach, or mountains to objects
found in the kitchen, supermarket, even the junkyard. In addition to information on
equipment, exposure, light, and composition, his book will feature elements of technique
that go beyond the norm, teaching you to shoot not just what is generally considered close-
up, but to go even closer to the point of abstraction. He will also show you how to produce
the intimacy of a close-up within a larger shot--how to capture the look in your subject's
eyes without compromising the clarity of the surrounding scene. And as always, Peterson
offers his signature touch with his personal terminology: in what he likes to call "Pop
Junk" he shows how combining creativity with the right digital technology can turn close-up
photos of the most ordinary objects into surprising pieces of art.
