ABOUT PHOTOMACROGRAPHY
Photographing images larger than life size has been in practice since 1835 whenWilliam Henry Fox Talbot created images from a solar microscope. Talbot photographed insect wings and botanical material up to 17 times life size. Close up photography refers to taking photographs from about 1/10th of life size up to life size. Photomacrography refers to photographs taken from life size to 40 times life size, these magnifications create a number of problems.
