Macro Art
Macro ArtMacro photography, is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects like a staple or pencil and living organisms like insects, an portrayed larger than life. The size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size, and is bigger and appears more importantly then it is in reality. In simplified terms Macro Art is an EXTREME zoom in on a subject matter.
There are a few outcomes that happens when an artist zooms in and creates a macro art.

The Light bulbs feel human to me. I see Facial features almost and emotion, its irrational because i know its a light bulb but it takes on a persona. |
