While speaking with Zohre, we learned more about the inspiration behind her macro photography: “Macro photography reveals a world filled with incredible details that are often hidden from our everyday view. For me, it's enjoyable because it reminds us that the world isn't just for humans—it's also home to insects and tiny creatures. There are so many things we don't notice with our normal eyesight; we might walk past them or even step on them without realizing. Macro photography allows us to appreciate the intricate beauty of these small, often unnoticed aspects of nature.

One of the images that stood out to us was a photograph of a "dancing" praying mantis. We asked Janati to share more about this unique shot, and we learned that: “While photographing this little mantis on a sunflower, my lens startled it, causing it to adopt a defensive posture. I had never seen a mantis react this way before, and at first, I was a bit frightened and instinctively stepped back. However, as I observed its beautiful wings and unique body shape, I was captivated and decided to capture the moment. It turned out to be one of my favorite shots to date.”

Lastly, when asked for advice she could give to other photographers starting their macro adventure, Zohre kindly said: “The key to success in macro photography is to explore subjects that interest them and embrace the challenge of capturing those details.”
