A dedicated macro lens, such as the Vivitar Series 1 90 mm f/2.5 shown here, is one of multiple methods to achieve the large reproduction ratio required for photomacrography. Macro photography, also called photomacrography or macrography, and sometimes macrophotography, is extreme close-up photography in which the subject is reproduced at greater than its actual size. Macro photographs usually feature very small subjects and living organisms like insects.
