Round three Macro
Macro requires a balance of technical and creative ability, while providing an insight into a world that is often impossible to appreciate with the naked eye. If photographing a living creature, take the time to study and understand its behaviour, so you don’t cause it distress. Ethics is crucial. And there’s no need to restrict yourself to plants or creatures. We also want to see impressionistic still-lifes and abstract landscapes. Anything goes, as long as it’s taken in close-up.
Your guest judge
Your guest judge for Round Three, Macro, is Tracy Calder. Tracy has more than 20 years of experience in the photo magazine industry. In 2018 she co-founded Close-up Photographer of the Year, an international competition celebrating close-up, macro and micro photography (www.cupoty.com).
