• One of the most popular forms of photography with a
broad genre.
• Extreme close-ups of plants, insects and other small
items with lots of detail.
• Exploring subjects that may be invisible to the naked
eye.
• A successful macro shot depends on the lighting, But
with natural sunlight, you cant go wrong.

We are most likely to see these
types of
images in magazines or perhaps
on an advert.
TV channels such as National
Geographic would use a macro
moving image for effect.
Macrography can also be seen
online in blogs and on social
media.

This photo was taken
by a very talented
photographer called
Sharon Johnstone.
Quite often, her nature
shots are taken in the
spur-of-the-moment.
She uses ‘macro’ lenses,
flashes and even special
effects such as coloured
gel background to capture
dew looking like jelled orbs.
The 'macro' photographs of dew on dandelions are captured by photographer Sharon Johnson
'I might find the perfect dew drop on a blade of grass and get the shot straight away,' she said.

Macro Photographer David Gilliver
started creating the miniature dioramas over 10 years ago during his Fine Art Photography degree at
the Glasgow School of Art. "Miniature figurines have always fascinated me and I take a lot of enjoyment
from thinking up new ideas about how I can use them next. I always joke with people, saying that I
obtained my degree by playing with toys, which on the face of it, is difficult to argue against."
