Chris McGinnis - The Macro World of Bugs - a podcast by CreativeLive

Chris McGinnis is a graphic designer and macro photography enthusiast with a passion for photographing anthropods. He currently works as the Senior Manager of Creative Services at Olympus America where he oversees all phases of Olympus’ graphic design, photography, and video production. We recorded this episode when Chris was here filming his Macro Photography class for the Step Outside conference - an Olympus + CreativeLive partnership. Chris takes us back to catching lightning bugs in the summertime as a child and why he thinks so many people are scared of bugs. He shares how easy it is to find macro subjects in your daily life, whether that’s in your backyard or balcony at work, and how best to slowly approach them before they fly or run away. You'll learn why face-to-face portraits of insects might be the trickiest, but are also the most rewarding. By the end of the episode you’ll have a much greater appreciation for insects, spiders, all things creepy crawly and their place in the world.

This is We Are Photographers with Chris McGinnis and this is his story.
