Macro Photography Handbook

After 8 years of teaching macro photography on Youtube through hundreds of videos, I have now summarized everything I think is worth knowing into this 113 page e-book. Filled with images, sample photos, step-by-step instructions.

Delivered to you instantly upon payment, as a PDF file suited to read on all kinds of screens, including smartphones – this is a digital book only.

The goal with this book has been to condense *ALL* my macro photography knowledge into an easy read that anyone can finish in a couple of hours. After reading it I want you to feel like Neo in the Matrix, when he wakes up after having downloaded everything there is to know about kung fu into his brain. But with macro photography.

Just like my videos, the book is a mix between technical information and inspiration. I think you need both to take better photos. And my goal with this book, is that after you have spent some time with it, you will take better macro photos than you have ever done before in your life.

In my book, I am going in deeper detail than in my YouTube videos. On YouTube you always need to be very brief, to not lose the viewers attention. In this book I can explain everything in full. At the same time, I have really *tried* to keep the book as simple and concise as possible. I don't want to bore the reader. 

I also want my book to work as a reference. I typeset it with a very readable monospace font, so that you should be able to keep the book in your smartphone. Then you can read it in the field, when you are wondering what settings to use for non-flash macro photography, for example. The book is written in a way so that you don't need to read it from start to finish – you can just look up what you want to know and read just that.

You might be asking yourself why you should buy this book, when I have already talked about almost everything in my 350 youtube videos about macro photography. The reason is that in this book, I have distilled the best and most important lessons. But above all, in this book the lessons are sorted and structured in a way so you can easily look something up. If you want to find my best advice on for example diffraction and how to handle that, it might be spread out across 10 different youtube videos – whereas in my book you can just go read directly in the diffraction chapter, where my best advice about diffraction are collected in a structured way.

I also expect to make updates to this book, and add things to it. If you purchase it, you will get an e-mail every time there is a new version of the book to download. And of course you will get all these updates for free for eternity if you have purchased the book.

What about price? Some people will most likely complain about my decided price point of 39 US dollars. After all, it is only a digital book, right? Shouldn't that be cheaper? To be honest, I feel I must put the price around there to have any chance of making this a project that is viable economically for me. I still need to sell a ton of these PDFs to make it worth the time it took me to make the book. 

And I feel like you are getting an awful lot of value for the money. You get 8 years of macro photography experience, condensed into a simple PDF that you can read in a couple of evenings. If you actually take the time to read my book and apply the tips, you will improve your macro photography skills by a lot, and that should be worth at least $39 to a lot of people. If some youtube photographers can charge $8000 for a workshop in an exotic location (not including flight tickets lol), I should be able to charge $39 for a nice little book containing EVERYTHING I know about my craft ;)

Also consider all the money you spent on your camera, your macro lens, your diffuser, your flash. It would almost be foolish not to spend a measly $39 extra to actually become good at taking beautiful photos, right? 

So yeah, if you feel like you would want such a book, and at the same time support me financially in a time where it would be dearly appreciated, grab a copy! If not, that's fine too. I still appreciate you, and I understand that this product is not for everyone.
