Macro photography is the
art of taking close-up pictures that reveal details which can’t be seen with
the naked eye. For example, while we can see the fly on the wall, our eyes
aren’t equipped to make out the fine details of the hairs on it’s face. This
is where macro photography comes in. It gives us a glimpse into the world of
the very small, which goes largely unnoticed by us as we hurriedly shuffle
through our day.
In this edition of our Monday Inspiration series we present 25 beautiful
examples of macro photography. A round-up of some truly revealing and
inspiring macro photographs which are sure to have you marveling at the
world around you. You may check out the links at the bottom of this post for
further resources on the subject of macro photography. |
