This week’s 52F theme is macro—one of my favorite styles to shoot. I love how accessible it is: whether I’m indoors or out, there’s always something worth zooming in on. Tiny worlds, big impact.
For this shot, I used a custom-built light modifier I cobbled together from a microscope’s adjustable diaphragm and a snug PVC pipe fitting that mounts perfectly onto my torch. It gives me precise control over the light—no spill, just sculpted illumination exactly where I want it. It’s a simple rig, but incredibly effective for light painting and shaping highlights in tight compositions.
Macro photography always feels like a blend of science and magic. Add a little DIY engineering, and it’s even more fun.
