Macro photography inspiration from Gustavo Mazzarollo

Macro photography (sometimes called micro photography) is an area of photography dedicated to capturing small subjects, or small parts of subjects, at extreme blown up magnifications up to life size or larger. This means that a photographed subject would appear on the sensor at its same actual size in reality. This is called a 1:1 magnification. If the subject appears twice its actual size, it is called a 2:1 magnification ratio. If it appears half its actual size, it is called a 1:2 magnification ratio and so on… (More about this here)
Gustavo Mazzarollo is a surgeon based in Teutônia – RS, Brazil. He happens to live nearby some woods which provides him with great natural opportunities for image capturing, which as a result contributed to his fondness of macro photography and him excelling in the field. Today I’ve put together some of Gustavo’s most amazing and interesting examples of macro photography to get you inspired, so check it out…

Brilliant brilliant macros. Neat & sweet !
Awesome macro shots! But I gotta admit, I was creeped out by some of those bugs (not a bug-lover here). I do appreciate the technique though, I know how hard it is to capture images like these. Thanks!
