This week I chat with the amazing Karen Hutton! We discuss her unique approach to storytelling through macro photography. How do you tell a story, up close?

Macro is a fave of mine. IMHO ZERENE Stacker is my tool of choice to use; much easier to use with macro than Photoshop.
Never heard of that app. But for me, my investment over the years in learning Photoshop means I should just spend the extra effort (if needed) to master macro within the app. Versus learning something different and arguably not as capable. But if you’ve mastered Zerene Stacker, you should absolutely continue using it. In the end, it’s about what YOU feel comfortable with… and lets you realize the final image. My 2¢.
