Extreme close-up photography
Extreme close-up photography is a highly detailed form of imagery. The purpose of this is to frame the subject or object tightly. To accomplish this, the skillsets needed are a good eye for detail, appropriate lighting, proper equipment such as a standard zoomed lens or macro lens, positioning, adjustments of aperture to increase the depth of field, shutter speed, and ISO, which are necessary to accomplish extreme close-up photography.
