An ultra-macro shot taken in a series of experiments for the cover of an album by Ebauche. If you catch it out of the corner of your eye you might well think it's a landscape shot, perhaps with an unexpected snowfall.

Ultra-macro shot taken in an experiment for the cover of the upcoming Ebauche album. This makes me immediately think of a deserted beach and a distant horizon, after the sun has set and the sky is fading from blue to black.

Stepping into the world of ultra macro photography feels like opening a hidden door to another universe. With my Canon 5DsR paired with the Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens, I captured details so small that they often escape the naked eye — a baby snail so tiny it looks almost transparent, the intricate compound structure of a woodlouse’s eye, and the delicate links of a jewelry chain that suddenly appear monumental at this scale.

Some images transform the ordinary into the extraordinary: abstract bursts of color created from everyday objects under special lighting, or the cellular structure of a leaf, each “room” glowing like stained glass. I challenge you to guess which objects became these mysterious landscapes — share your thoughts in the comments!

Macro photography sits at the intersection of science and art. It reveals biological structures with near-microscopic precision, but it also creates dreamlike imagery that sparks imagination. To me, this is what makes it so magical: it’s both a tool of discovery and a form of creative expression.

This journey is only the beginning. The more I experiment, the more I realize how limitless this world is. Each millimeter holds a story — and I can’t wait to share more of them with you.

What was a very small snail, becomes a completely different thing when captured with an ultra-macro setup. A whole new world is revealed, a fraction of the size of ours and yet just as intricately detailed.

This one is taken with my ultramacro setup and you can see just how insanely shallow the depth of field gets with this much magnification going on. I love how you can see a few individual grains of pollen
