The Little Things ANDREA DINGELDEIN A NDREA DINGELDEIN, from Burlington, NC, began photography as a youngster under her father’s lead. “My family would go scuba diving and we took pictures underwater,” Dingeldein says. trending She was most familiar with Nikon equipment before tran-sitioning to her iPhone. To accompany her iPhone she uses a two-lens Olloclip to shoot macro photography. “The Olloclip is a great tool. It’s affordable enough to get a new model to play around with,” she says. Other than the Camera Plus application, she shoots raw images with very little post processing. She uses Instagram application filters to adjust the brightness, contrast and saturation of the original iPhone image and posts her photos to the widely used Instagram app. Dingeldein holds degrees in marine biology and graphic design from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. This combined interest in science and art led her to explore her subject of choice: insects. “Insects take me back to my childhood,” she says. Dingeldein has traveled to the Virgin Islands and Hawaii to capture underwater wildlife and nature but finds the most fascinating subjects in her own yard.
