Every year around this time, we turn our focus to the world of Macro – a realm that might seem unremarkable from a distance but, upon closer inspection, reveals a breathtaking tapestry of detail and wonder. These tiny marvels hold the power to mesmerize, but they also bring their share of challenges. For those unfamiliar, venturing into macro photography can feel daunting.
With this issue, we aim to demystify that perception through insightful articles, expert perspectives and practical tips to help make the world of macro more accessible.
In our Pro Profile section, we speak with Christian Brockes, who explores the techniques, patience, and passion behind documenting insect life. Kristine from macro.viewpoint shares how macro photography has shaped her creative journey and deepened her connection with nature and mindfulness. Closer to home, Sandip Guha offers a lens into his precision-driven process, the hardships faced, mistakes made, and the pursuit of that elusive ‘bucket shot.’ Each photographer brings a unique voice to this issue, sure to both inspire and encourage you to explore macro for yourself.
In our Tips section, we explore key themes – like the boundary between macro and micro. Where does one end and the other begin? It’s not just a technical question, but a philosophical one, prompting us to see beauty not only in the grand but also in the minute.
We also discuss macro ethics – a crucial conversation, especially relevant to today’s world. Ethical storytelling and photography extend beyond journalism. In macro, it raises questions about our environmental impact, the treatment of living subjects, and our collective responsibility to nature.
One of the more experimental themes we’ve explored is bioluminescence – a striking metaphor for beauty emerging from darkness. In the deepest waters, light exists not in abundance, but in resilience. It’s a reminder that wonder can lie hidden in the shadows – waiting to be noticed.
We’ve skipped a dedicated feature on macro gear this time, since it was covered in depth last year. However, we’ll make that content available on our website for easy reference. And don’t forget – our E-version is now completely free, making it easier than ever to dive into this edition.
Until next time…
Happy Reading!
