To put it simply, macro photography is close-up photography. There are various schools of though on when a photo becomes a macro (when it’s close enough) but most have agreed to disagree on the exact details of this grey area.
They have agreed though that when an image projected on the camera sensor is relatively the same size as your subject this is defined as macro photography.
We give this term a 1:1 magnification ratio.
The advantages of indoor lighting setups is that you control every detail of your lighting. The disadvantage might be that you currently don’t have all the lighting equipment to get the results you want. So, what I’ll be doing is showing you some basic lighting setups using mostly 1 or 2 light sources and still getting great results. You’ll see that the KISS principal (keep it simple stupid) is often your best solution in getting good shots.
