Some of my favorite flower macros were taken with sun shining on the flowers. The shadows cast by the stamens and stigma can add interest, detail, depth even.
My doubt is which Lightroom for iPhone, I have to get, can you also explain to me how to use Lightroom? I just bought the Sandmarc lenses, but I don't like the ProCam.
If you want to use Lightroom Camera, you can download it here: apps.apple.com/us/app/lightroom-photo-video-editor/id878783582 Currently, we don't have a lesson on how to use Lightroom Camera. But if you are looking for lessons on how to edit with that app, you can check out our iPhone Editing Academy Course here: iphone.to/iea-s Let us know if you have any questions.
He is amazing ! I love all the photography instructional videos from IPhone Phtotography School. I purchased the Macro lens which isn't easy to use because of the movement but Emil explains it so well that I am going to try using the lens again. The camera app, position of the lens, the right settings and lighting condition is what made this video special. Thank you Emil
Hi there, Macro Photography is available on the PRO models. However, you can use attachable lenses to do Macro Photography with the iPhone 13. We recommend lenses from Moment and Sandmarc for better results.
that was concise, calming, informative. just really top notch video. when you had the bug at that further angle with the stem of the plant blurring out away from the camera as a video, that was really good. did you use the iphone for that too? how?
We used a digital camera to capture the scene of the bug on the stem, but it is possible to get the same effect with the iPhone and its macro feature. :)
It is possible. For that, we recommend focus stacking. Take a photo of the foreground, middle ground and background. Once done, you can merge them using a third party software such as lightroom to merge the photos and get the result you are looking for. :)
What's the base model phone you're starting with here mate? Looking at iPhones 13 Pro-through-15 Pro trying to research if it's possible to get by without buying add-on lenses :)

Hello just came across your channel thanks for the valuable information I went to the Sandmarc site and they have 2 macro lenses. ( 25MM and a 100MM ) which would you recommend I intentions it to used exactly as on your video mostly for closeups of flowers / nature
Hello what Gimble or Rig for the IPhone 14 Pro Max would you recomend in the market now to use to take to take Macro ( i already ordered the Sandmarc Macro lence 10mm) I also saw the they have a grip and a rig for i phone. I like to do pictures and small videos in macro I ask mostly for the stabilization and not having to touch the screen to take a pic or record any suggestion to use any of these gadets? thank you!
The DJI Osmo gimbal is a great option. You can use it for both videos and photographs. Here's the link to learn more about that product: www.amazon.com/DJI-Smartphone-Stabilizer-Extension-ShotGuides/dp/B0B7XD7R43/

What is the model of this IP? Since IP13pro the wide angle câmera has autofocus and works like a macro lens too. The phone knows you are trying a macro and adjust focus. In the screen the traditional macro logo appears.
Emil used an iPhone 11 PRO in this video. The newer devices have an improved macro capabilities. However, if you want to get even closer, we recommend the Moment or Sandmarc lenses.
I just bought the Pro Can, when Emil started to set the configurations The first thing he does is Set the Image stabilization, mine doesn't show it. After UI Color the first thing that shows is : Manual Focus Assist. Is that the same or not?
there's another issue in my pro can, The image still shows a black area, after I did all the procedures that he told us to do. changing for 2X, I could get the image without the black area
I have the iPhone 14 Pro, and though macro mode gets you closer than ever before, you cannot get near as close as with a 10x add on lend he shown in the video, I am considering getting a macro lens.
Thank you! I learned so much from your videos! Bought macro lens & Apps to make my macro photos look great! I get comments from social media friends asking what kind camera I am using!🥰🌺🤙🏽
There are different ways to achieve that. You can get close to your subject and focus on them, use Portrait Mode, or use third party apps like Focos to get blurry backgrounds on your images. :)
We used an iPhone 11 PRO to teach this lesson, but we plan to updated it in the future. And yes! You are right, the newer macro lenses from Apple can create stunning results. However a lens attachment is still recommend should you still need to get closer to your subject :)
Hummmm🤔Which iPhone is he using?…because…I have the iPhone 13 ProMax…which has a micro camera capabilities natively on the phone…so…will I still need those micro lenses?…
Emil used an iPhone 11 PRO. The newer models have better macro capabilities. You can get as close as 2cm, but if you want to get even closer, then an attachable lens form Moment or Sandmarc will be a great option.
It’s not the low light causing this , it’s the obstruction over the main sensor tricking the iPhone into thinking you need macro (wide angle) mode… go into settings and enable “macro control” in the camera settings this will let you disable auto switching of the lenses and you can still use the default app and choose which lens you want to use.
Great to have you back in front and behind the camera 👍🏼 I have a question though. If you have an iPhone with the build in Macro lens, do you even need to buy a Macro lens to attach to your iPhones camera? I’ve taken some of the most beautiful and stunning photos where I’m all the way inside a flower and they turned out amazing and the look up feature could even identify the species of flower 🌸
The newer iPhone Pro models have great macro capabilities, but if you want to magnify your focus distance even more, you can definitely use a macro lens to get close-up shots. :)
That’s one thing I dislike about the native camera app, when it does not use the lens you selected sometimes. You’d expect if you chose the 2x lens, it will use that. That’s what the Black Magic app does properly.
THANK YOU !!! I’ve been looking for this type of video ! My husband offered me accessories like macro for Mother’s Day. Now I’ll be able to try with your great tips 😜🥳🥳
You can get as close as two centimeters with the latest PRO models. If you wish to get even closer, we recommend using an attachable lens to get better results.
Yeah after a very long time , good to have him back 👋🤙
I recommend Emil’s IPhone Photography course, makes everything so much easier.
Some of my favorite flower macros were taken with sun shining on the flowers. The shadows cast by the stamens and stigma can add interest, detail, depth even.
I purchased the Iphone Photo Academy course several years ago. It has been one investment. Always something new to learn. Thank you Emil!
Welcome back, Emil 😊
This is why macrophotography is my favorite type of photography. It's just a whole 'nother world.
Yeah i love macro that why i choosed iPhone 14 Pro 🐞🍀
Bentornato Emil, ottimo video e spiegato in maniera esemplare 👏🏻🔝
What is the minimum focal distance on each of the lenses on the iPhone 15?
Thank you for your wonderful instruction, I need to stay current.
Nice information. was helpfull

I just use my Huawei P60 Art. It does close up macro without any extra lens. There is nothing special about an iphone other than snob appeal.
Another fantastic video Emil. Thank you 🙏
Wow! that macro lens is amazing! Where is the best place to get one and what is the cost?
You can find it here:
www.shopmoment.com/products/macro-lens
It's been awhile emil,welcome back bro 😊
Which ProCam app is used here? There seems to be more than one in the Apple App Store. Which developer?
We recommend ProCam8. Here's the link you can use to find it in the App Store
apps.apple.com/de/app/procam-8/id730712409
Great video. Is it a 25 mm or 100 mm?
Anyone had solution for Iphone 13 base model cannot do macro photography? 😫😭
Hi there, Macro Photography is available on the PRO models. However, you can use attachable lenses to do Macro Photography with the iPhone 13. We recommend lenses from Moment and Sandmarc for better results.
thank you for your reply, but this very sad when no one stated it on iphone camera review 🥲@@iPhone_Photography_School
This is so awsome
Great video! It’s nice to see someone not caught up in all the manual settings on these fancy camera apps. Keep up the good work
Re Macro, I’m have it built into my 14Pro model. Does it deliver similar results to the aftermarket lens?
Sandmarc's or Moment macro lenses will help you to get even closer to your subjects :)
Does this macro lens work better than the iPhone 15pro max camera macro feature?
It does! It helps to get even closer to your subjects. :)
that was concise, calming, informative. just really top notch video. when you had the bug at that further angle with the stem of the plant blurring out away from the camera as a video, that was really good. did you use the iphone for that too? how?
We used a digital camera to capture the scene of the bug on the stem, but it is possible to get the same effect with the iPhone and its macro feature. :)
A really helpful video (as ever) but I have a question, please. Is there a way to take a macro shot with the background also in focus?
It is possible. For that, we recommend focus stacking. Take a photo of the foreground, middle ground and background. Once done, you can merge them using a third party software such as lightroom to merge the photos and get the result you are looking for. :)
Many thanks, I'll try that@@iPhone_Photography_School

@@iPhone_Photography_School thank you
I’ve always been a big fan of micro pics, now i know how to and what to buy , thank you for sharing sir ❤
Right now I have 11 pro Max. I have a question: can I follow this course with 11 pro Max ?
What iphone model are you using?
Emil used an iPhone 11 PRO in this demonstration :)

Great Job, I love taking macros, now with the iPhone 14 ProMax has a built in macro lens. The phone goes into macro mode when you get really close
I have the 14 Pro Max as well. Yes you can get some incredible close-ups! ☺
I can get all the way up to my skin and see small dirt it’s nasty

@@iPhone_Photography_School thanks!
Is this macro fits on IPhone 14 Pro, please?
Yes, it does. :)
I just bought the Pro Can, when Emil started to set the configurations The first thing he does is Set the Image stabilization, mine doesn't show it. After UI Color the first thing that shows is : Manual Focus Assist. Is that the same or not?
Mine doesn't either. I did however see "Anti-shake Sensitivity" so I'm going to use that one.
Can you send the macro lens name?
You can find the Macro lens in Sandmarc's website. Here's the link: www.sandmarc.com/pages/shop-iphone-macro-lens
8:42 that closeup shot of your hand holding the phone, what was that shot with?
It was shot with a macro lens from Sandmarc:
Sandmarc Macro lens - bit.ly/3Hs9jmy
@@iPhone_Photography_School The 25mm?
I have not been watching lately because I was recovering from knee replacement surgery. I am anxious to start.
Hope that your recovery was amazing and that you are back to moving around freely.❤
Is this forest in Jurmala, Latvia by any chance? )))
Yes, it is! :)
Knew that! :D Very nice videos! Thank you! @@iPhone_Photography_School
Absolutely! Glad you liked our content! :)
Emil why you don't using iPhone 14 pro
Emil is still getting great results with his current iPhone 11 PRO. :)
How did you shoot macro in an old model? In the old models there is no option for macro photography
You can use third party macro lenses from Moment or Sandmarc to take macro shots with older devices.
there's another issue in my pro can, The image still shows a black area, after I did all the procedures that he told us to do. changing for 2X, I could get the image without the black area
Is it true the iPhone 15ProMax will have a built in macro? Just a rumor?
Most likely. The newest iPhone Pro modes have a Macro feature built-in already. :)
Maco have iPhone 13 pro 14 pro ( better then iPhone 13 Pro ) and iPhone 15 pro
What about macro that’s already on the phone? Why is it necessary to buy another lens?
The built-in macro feature has a minimum focus distance, which can be increased with an attachable lens from Moment or Sandmarc.
only issue is it’s shutter button is very tiny
so tiny to get hands on it
What was the free app he said?
Lightroom Mobile is the free alternative :)
Why don’t you just use Macro mode built in to the iPhone 14 Pro?
The built-in macro has minimum focus distance of 2cm. You can get even closer with an attachable macro lens from Moment or Sandmarc
@@iPhone_Photography_School
Cool!
What iPhone is he using ? I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max currently and 1x and 2.5x work on the same lens… the BOTTOM lens… not the top
An iPhone 11 PRO was used in this video. :)
@@iPhone_Photography_School wow! Just between the 11 and 12 there was that much of a design change?
Yes, there have been some changes since the release of the iPhone 12 models :)
Why not using the built in iPhone macro mode? Is it because the ultra wide lens is not that great?
I have the iPhone 14 Pro, and though macro mode gets you closer than ever before, you cannot get near as close as with a 10x add on lend he shown in the video, I am considering getting a macro lens.
Thank you! I learned so much from your videos! Bought macro lens & Apps to make my macro photos look great! I get comments from social media friends asking what kind camera I am using!🥰🌺🤙🏽
That's great to hear! We are glad you discovered a new way of making photographs!
so this is impossible on iphone 14 plus, i got a 256 14 plus for $1120 in india! :(
How can a person get a shallow depth of field with the iPhone ? aka bokeh
There are different ways to achieve that. You can get close to your subject and focus on them, use Portrait Mode, or use third party apps like Focos to get blurry backgrounds on your images. :)
I’m guessing you don’t have an iPhone 13 Pro or above since they have a built in macro mode that activates when you are very close to a subject
We used an iPhone 11 PRO to teach this lesson, but we plan to updated it in the future. And yes! You are right, the newer macro lenses from Apple can create stunning results. However a lens attachment is still recommend should you still need to get closer to your subject :)
Imagine the effect if this is 13pro above series. The result would be astounding!
I’ll say 1 thing about ProCam. It doesn’t do 16:9 nearly as good as iPhones native camera
I paid 99.00 for a photo course a couple of years ago but couldn’t figure out how to use it.

Try for example Xiaomi 14 Ultra och Vivo X100 Ultra, and iPhone will never be enought anymore
Emil Pakarklis does an excellent job here. I wish he would do some videos using the fisheye lens as well.
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll take it into consideration for a future video :)
Great tips. Saying hi from Brazil. Thanks for the content.

Well that's only if you have a pro or pro max. There is no macro sitting on the iPhone 15 or 14
no, youre both wrong in this situation. he's using an iphone 11 pro max, which doesnt have a macro mode
❤❤❤❤
Hello po
vivo x100 pro feels like, macro?? :-)

Compare with Xiaomi 13 pro and then you see how Macro pictures really can be and without any accessoies

Its funny how good is XIAOMI 9,10,11 Pro macro camera ..i need better macro in iphone

And i really wonder my $300 android phone takes much better macro shots without extra lens let alone the iPhone!
iPhone 14 Pro doesn’t need a macro lense :)
Your title is misleading, it implies that you are taking macro photos with the iphone only. Nice clickbait.
“with your iphone”
It saif it
🙄🤔
iPhone 15 Pro Max doesn't need a macro lens. :)
Lol how much $ is it though
It does if you want to have the same quality as the main lenses, as any other phone does 😉
Okay
Why ?
iPhone 14 Pro doesn’t need a macro lense and they are like $399
for people with iphone15:;
That’s to much work
Totally underwhelming. If you want to do macro use a camera and lens that are fit for the job.
You’re missing the point: he did say macro using an iPhone.
