Lean in to learn. That’s what macro photography taught me. When you get close enough – wooden pegs clutching raindrops, the bumpy skin of a backyard lime, individual blackberry drupelets – the ordinary becomes extraordinary. My RF 100mm F2.8 Macro and EF 100mm F2.8 Macro (the lens that started it all) force me to slow down, notice, and marvel. This is where food photography and fine art photography meet: both require you to see what others walk past, both demand that you honour your subject by truly observing it.
