 From RPS member, speaker & judge John Mariana:

Close-up: Close-up photography sounds exactly like what it is, a closer-in photographic examination of a subject. It does NOT have to be true "macro" photography where images are supposed to be life-sized, just close-up detailed shots of whatever you find interesting.

Did you know:

This is non-vintage, so images must have been taken in the past 12 months.  Be sure to check your EXIF data to ensure the picture was taken in the last 12 months.

Judge: Marvin Price

Marvin Price is an Atlanta based photographer that has been capturing images for over 20 years. From events to underwater photography, Marvin enjoys enjoys it all. Marvin is a frequent speaker and judge with Atlanta area camera clubs and leads workshops in Nature and Underwater photography. Due to his influence as a volunteer there, many photographers have enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy photography prior to public hours in the Atlanta Aquarium.

In addition, she is an Advisory Board member with Atlanta Celebrates Photography (an annual photography festival) and has been involved on the Board of Directors since the early planning sessions in 1998.

Her company, Pisconeri Workshops provides expert, dynamic and creative learning experiences. The Workshops are an opportunity to learn from a professional photographer and educator through hands-on-instruction, field trips, and travel experiences, bringing together the worlds of photography, art, history, travel and exploration for the creative mind. Each workshop is specially designed to explore and experiment with techniques, methods and creative processes to expand the visual content and technical expertise of the photograph.
