Photographer Martina Flabb Captivates Audience with Stunning Macro Shots
Amateur photographer Martina Flabb, based in Hilden, Germany, has a passion for capturing the intricate details of the natural world through macro photography.
Her love for detail led her to use her macro lenses frequently, allowing her to focus on the smallest of creatures and objects. One of her favourite subjects is the humble ladybug, which hangs proudly on her refrigerator.
Martina's preference for nature motifs in her photography is evident in her work. Her best shot to date is a breathtaking image of a bird of prey in flight, clutching a mouse in its talons. Another standout image is of a sparrow hawk successfully pouncing on a kingfisher.
Martina's work has always received a great response, with many admirers appreciating her ability to bring the tiny world to life. During the coronavirus lockdown, she returned to her passion for photography, using her Olympus camera to hunt for kingfishers at the Wipperkotten and Balkhauser Kotten.
In the Gräfrather Park Cemetery, Martina often encounters squirrels, which she captures with remarkable clarity. The small, greenish shimmering weevil is another subject she has photographed with success, using her macro lens to reveal its intricate details.
Macro photography allows Martina to observe tiny hairs on insect legs and dust feet taking on bizarre shapes. She primarily shares her incredibly beautiful, detailed shots on Facebook and Instagram.
Martina's journey in photography began when she received her first camera, a Canon, from her father when she was fifteen. After completing her training at Foto Kauska, she worked in the photo department there for a long time before moving to a company in Düsseldorf. She later ran her own branch in Hilden.
After around 25 years, Martina is still working at the Solingen branch of A.T.U. Her declared goal for this year is to capture a roller, a challenging but exciting prospect for any macro photographer. Despite strong magnification, the actual object is usually still recognizable in her macro shots, a testament to her skill and dedication.
