Photos are one of my favourite sources when I’m looking for a little inspiration – both my own photography, and other peoples. Incredibly close macro photos are one of my favourite areas of photography, and taking a closer look at some good shots now and again can really help inspire us designers and illustrators. I love being able to see all them miniature details, them little lines and marks that the human eye can’t see. I find it’s especially inspiring when you’re wanting to create some strange illustrations.
So anyway, in this post I’ve collected together 25 incredible, super-close macro shots that you should all see. Click on the photos to see more by the photographer! …Isn’t the snowflake amazing?































Some pretty cool fonts here. Particularly like the Oogie Boogie one.
