Create Dreamy Photography with a MACRO Lens | Tips & Tricks

I like to keep things simple: find a pleasing subject, have a basic starting point with settings and adjust according to the light, then compose the image creating soft dreamlike photographs with a sharp center of interest.

Most of the time, my favorite way to take a photo with my macro lens or any lens is to hand-hold (no tripod), no flash, and with wide-open apertures. No focus stacking and hopefully not too much editing afterward. I don’t have a problem with any of those things. In fact, I admire what many other photographers do and I enjoy viewing beautiful photographs in all styles of photography, it’s just that this is my comfort zone and while it’s good to sometimes push yourself to try different things, I just love to go outside and enjoy nature, this makes me feel at peace and I’m happy to find subjects to photograph without a lot of fuss and with nothing holding me back.
I’m always experimenting, so sometimes my settings can be all over the place, I’m still learning and discovering what works best in different lighting conditions.

In this video, I share several tips and a couple of hacks for creating creamy soft photographs with a macro lens. Most of these examples are close-ups and not necessarily macro photography, but for me, this lens isn’t just for macro photography, it is sort of an ‘all-purpose lens’ and sometimes getting really close to a subject is a bonus!

* You can create a similar look to your photos with just about any camera and lens if the lens can go somewhere between f/1.2 - f/4 or a telephoto lens at around f/5.6, together with some of these other tips. *
