Morphology
macrophotography = photography (transparent) = macro + photo + graphy
The word is transparently formed by adding macro- to photography, giving the specialized sense of close-up photography.
Etymology
Macrophotography joins macro- ('large') with photo- ('light' or 'picture') and -graphy ('recording'). So, macrophotography is the practice of taking very close-up pictures that make tiny subjects look large and show fine detail.
