The area of photography that I have chosen to focus on this year is close-up photography. I decided to focus on this for my topic because it is such a broad topic and I can look into lot's of different techniques used for close up photography and experiment with them. I am particularly keen to look into and learn about macro photography which is something that I have never really tried before. What I like about this topic is that I can pretty much go anywhere I want to with it and come up with lot's of interesting ideas to create a few pieces throughout the year. This is also different from anything else I have ever done throughout my first AS year of photography so I can learn about different types of photography.
