Insects
Macro studies of insect life, getting close enough to reveal the detail most people walk straight past — the texture of a wing, the geometry of an eye, the sheen on an exoskeleton catching the light.
It's a slower, more deliberate kind of photography, often built around long waits for a subject to settle rather than chasing movement, letting the smallest creatures hold their own as proper subjects rather than background noise.
