overcoming the limits of the human eye, a photographer known as ‘macrofying’ uses a macrozoom lens to unveil the smallest details of common objects. the photographer hyper-zooms into both natural and man-made subjects to reveal new, uncanny landscapes. the video format of the zooms helps the viewer to understand a comparative sense of scale as it seamlessly moves into the depths of the object, transitioning from its familiar whole down to a microscopic level.

macrofying uses their macrozoom lens to reveal new worlds at the microscopic level. while some videos may seem edited, the photographer claims they are all genuine macro images. some of the more extreme zoom videos are the result of a composite of multiple photographs of the same object in the same position, but at different levels of resolution. the revealing videos are at once a work of art, and an instruction on the physical composition of the unseen world. crystalline formations take shape within the cells of a honeycomb while microscopic dirt coats the fibers of a used surgical mask.

the video series by macrofying may inspire viewers to learn more about the microscopic or technological world. one video depicts a macro view of a candle as it is blown out, showing a new perspective of billowing smoke and the thousands of microscopic particles of which it’s composed. another video zooms into the reflective surface of a compact disc (CD), which is covered in a network of non-reflective bumps to define a binary data set of 1s and 0s.
