macro photography
Tiny subjects magnified
Macro photography is extreme close-up photography that renders small subjects—insects, flowers, textures—at life-size or larger on the camera's sensor.
The technique reveals detail invisible to the naked eye: The macro photography showed every hair on the spider's legs.
Practitioners use specialized lenses or extension tubes to achieve the necessary magnification.
