Macro photography is a specialized genre of photography that focuses on capturing extreme close-up images of small subjects, typically at a 1:1 (life-size) ratio or greater. This allows the revealing of intricate details. Common subjects for macro photography include insects, flowers, textures, and small objects. Specialized macro lenses or extension tubes are used to achieve this level of magnification. Macro photography requires precise focusing, good lighting, and often the use of a tripod to ensure sharpness and clarity in the final images.
