Let’s start with my favourite genre, macro photography. As I mentioned earlier, macro photography is all about capturing the details that are invisible to the naked eye. For me, the most fascinating subject to photograph in macro is the ant. These tiny creatures never cease to amaze me with their complex social behaviour and intricate body structure.
To capture these details, I use a specialized macro lens that allows me to focus on objects as close as a few millimetres away. I also use focus stacking to capture every detail in sharp focus. This technique involves taking multiple shots of the same subject, each with a different focus point. Later, I combine these images to create a final photo where everything is in sharp focus. But macro photography is not just about ants; it’s also about capturing the beauty of flowers, insects, and other small creatures. I love to explore the world up close and find beauty in the tiny details. Studio macro photography is also a fascinating genre, where I can control the lighting and background to create stunning portraits of tiny creatures.
