macrophotographs
Tiny subjects enlarged
Macrophotographs are photographs taken at extremely close range, showing subjects at life-size or greater magnification.
The technique captures fine detail invisible to casual observation—the texture of an insect's wing, the pattern of a snowflake, the surface of a coin: Her macrophotographs of butterfly scales revealed iridescent structures.
