Technically speaking, macro photography (also known as photomacrography), is a way of capturing extreme close-ups of tiny subjects. The term refers to the fact that the size of the subject in the photograph appears at least as large as it does in real life, if not greater than life-size. A macro lens is, therefore, a lens capable of reproduction ratios of at least 1:1. The best macro photography is captured by DSLRs fitted with “true” macro lenses.

It transports us into entire worlds that we’re not normally privy to and has become an incredibly popular photography technique, for both research and entertainment purposes.
