Discover the tiny world!

People usually fear what they do not know or understand. The world of spiders & insects is inhabited by many creatures that might look alien or dangerous but are actually harmless to us.
Knowledge may lead to acceptance and respect towards these inhabitants of a world that is often hidden from us.
With WILD MACRO, Photographer Christian Brockes strives to make these fascinating little creatures visible – for everyone – through extreme macro photography.
