Macro photography is extreme close-up photography where a small subject appears larger than its actual size in the final image, often with a magnification ratio of at least 1:1 (life-size). It involves using specialized lenses or other equipment to capture intricate details of subjects like insects or flowers, and requires careful control of factors like focus, lighting, and depth of field.
