May 18, 2023 · What is Close-Up Photography? It’s all in the name! Close-up photography is about reproducing diminutive subjects with all their small details at a scale close to life-size or larger. You can practice capturing close-up photos pretty much anywhere, in natural light or in the studio.
Jun 7, 2021 · Last updated: Jun 7, 2021 • 4 min read. Close up photography focuses on making a small object appear larger. Whether you’re trying to shoot a subject’s face, the gears of a wristwatch, or a tiny bacteria, there are different kinds of close up photography that can help you achieve the perfect shot.

Nathan was the Young Close-up Photographer of the Year winner of the CUPOTY 04, 2022 competition. Last winter, I was walking through my local woodland, inspecting rotten logs and sticks, when I came across a log covered in slime mould fruiting bodies or sporangia. I set up my camera gear and focused on a small cluster among the moss. @nature.magnif...
Viktor was the ‘Underwater’ category winner of the CUPOTY 04 (2022) competition. This is a Lucernaria quadricornis (Stauromedusae), a stalked jellyfish, photographed beneath the ice of the White Sea in Russia – the only freezing sea in Europe. The green colour of the water is a sign of spring as algae grows. ‘The “leg” of the jellyfish helps it to ...
Marek was the ‘Micro’ category winner of CUPOTY 04 (2022 competition). I took a sample of Batrachospermum (a kind of red algae) from a small river in Wigry National Park, Poland. Although it has natural beauty, it doesn’t look great using bright-field illumination. However, by combining polarised light and darkfield techniques I managed to get a co...
Samantha was the Overall and ‘Animals’ category winner of CUPOTY 04 (2022 competition). Northern pitcher plants (Sarracenia purpurea) are carnivorous, allowing them to survive in nutrient-poor bog environments. Here there is no rich soil, but rather a floating mat of sphagnum moss. Instead of drawing nutrients up through their roots, this plant rel...
Barry was the ‘Fungi’ category winner of CUPOTY 04 (2022) competition. In January last year, following two days of freezing fog and sub-zero temperatures, I found some mature Comatricha growing on an old fence post lying on a pile of discarded, rotting timber. I was attracted to the way the ice had encased the slime mould, creating strange, windswe...
Jamie was the ‘Invertebrate Portrait’ category winner of CUPOTY 04 (2022 competition). This triangular spider species (Arkys curtulus) is an ambush predator, not a web-based hunter like most. To hunt its prey, it sits compact and curled up on a leaf, mimicking bird poo or other bio-debris. Balanced abdomen-side down, eyes up, it looks to the sky an...
Wim was the ‘Butterflies & Dragonflies’ category winner of CUPOTY 04 (2022 competition). I found this dew-covered male banded demoiselle on a reed stem among the streams near my hometown, Ede in the Netherlands. Banded demoiselles are easy to approach as they rest and dry in the early morning. I tried to find an angle that would produce bokeh bubbl...
Matt was the ‘Manmade’ category winner of CUPOTY 04 (2022 competition). This picture was captured as two drops of oil were merging. I’m intrigued by polarity and experimenting with oil and water has become a rich source of abstract expression. The symbiotic relationship that evolves from naturally opposing elements has become metaphoric for me. I a...
Sébastien was the ‘Plants’ category winner of CUPOTY 04 (2022 competition). Snake’s-head fritillary is one of my favourite flowers. This one was taken in the city of Toulouse, France. It usually grows on wet meadows but can also be found in forests. In this image, I wanted to introduce some context, but keep the flower as the centre of interest. I ...
Anirban was the ‘Insects’ category winner of CUPOTY 04 (2022 competition). Before the start of the monsoon every year, some species of termite swarm in the late afternoon and early evening – this behaviour is known as nuptial flight. One day, I witnessed this event near a petrol pump in the town of Cooch Behar, India. There were thousands of termit...

1. Get as close as you can. This sounds obvious, but try it. Set your camera up on a tripod, choose a subject (anything will do really) and get your camera up close to the subject. Switch your camera to Manual focus. You can try autofocus, but generally you will be able to focus a little closer on manual focus.
