WORKSHOPS - Mike Moats - Award Winning Macro Photographer

It always amazes me when I see photographers spending thousands and thousands of dollars on equipment, buying many cameras, tripods, photobags, etc, over their lifetime, and no money on education.

There are so many pro photographers including my self teaching people the ways to improve their photography.  Yes we do it because it helps us sustain a living but also because of the rewards we get from seeing the excitement from a photographer as he or she learns new techniques, compositions, post processing, etc.

I started a Macro Photo Club five years ago with the idea of teaching macro photography through videos, but also to hopefully get photographers to participate in helping each of our members grow as photographers through our Mike Moats Macro Photo Club Facebook group, where we post images and ask questions for help.

My thoughts when I started the Macro Photo Club was that we would maybe get 150 members.  To my surprise, we have over 2,800 members from 29 countries, and growing each day.

I wanted the price to be affordable, and at $99 for a lifetime membership, I guarantee you will not find more instructional macro information anywhere then what I am offering.  Over 280 instructional videos, and growing, covering equipment, composition, post processing, and tips from the field.

Spend a little money on education, you will progress much faster as a photographer than learning on your own.
