MACRO EXPRESSIONISM: Manifesto of Expressionism in Macro Photography

Macro Expressionism is a new concept in Macro photography outlined by Carlin M. Felder to describe a style of photographing a subject close-up which deviates from the hyper-realistic macro style used by mainstream photographers.

“Macro Expressionism emphasizes what is important in the photographer’s frame at the moment and isn’t concerned with the representation of the object as a whole,” she states in the introduction.

This book outlines the tenets of Macro Expressionism, offers a Manifesto as a rallying cry, sites influences from the world of fine art, and contrasts the core concepts of macro photography from Macro Expressionism in the larger historical context of fine art photography.

Felder offers a ground-breaking treatise and accompanying imagery to support the argument for: Macro Expressionism - Manifesto for Expressionism in Macro Photography.
