These 15 objects are part of our everyday life, but this little game allows us to see them from a new point of view.

These strange pictures were made possible thanks to macro photography. This photographic technique allows us to immortalise the ‘little world,' and capture photos of things on a small scale, such as flowers, insects or soda bubbles for example. It offers lots of possibilities and the slightest change in the angle of the shot can completely change the image.
Up close and personal
If you want to get into macro photography, the most important thing you will need is good equipment… and a lot of patience. Especially if your focus is nature, which by definition, is changing.
Thanks to the progress made in new technologies, it is now also possible to try your hand at macro photography using just your smartphone. To work on a more amateur level, you don’t really need to invest lots of money to do so. All you need is to attach a simple object to your phone with some pliers for a great result.
To improve your photos, it is especially advisable to get level with the object and use the rule of the thirds. This advice is particularly useful for classic photography.
