Personal defintion- A form of photography which provides large amounts of detail at a close range as well as making an object appear larger than life.
Alessandro Zocchi
Camera settings
Aperture: F/8 (a wide depth of field can be used when taking a photo of something which exists wholly in the images foreground for example an eye as there is no need to blur out the images background).
Shutter speed: 1/125 (a fast shutter speed will prevent camera shake and image distortion).
ISO: 200 (an ISO of 200 can be used due to the high levels of studio lighting).
Lighting
-Studio light x2 (lights are used on either side of the object in order to gain a more even tone of light).
-Light diffuser (tracing paper) x2 (this is used to create a more even and concentrated tone of light).
Equipment
-Macro lens and studio camera (a macro lens provides a greater level of detail than a standard lens).
-Tripod/Camera stand (this is used to prevent camera shake as a small movement at the close camera range could cause a large amount of image distortion).
Studio set up
Good, you could also comment on how macro images appear to reveal aspects about an object which are easily overlooked by the human eye...
