Caroline Jensen – @carolinej

Caroline is a Sony Artisan and her Instagram account features painterly photos and macro shots. The way she brings light into her images while maintaining their simplicity makes her page an easy one to follow. She took this photo below with her RX10 IV and comments, “Here is the thing about flowers, they really love soft, early morning light. I generally crave dramatic and directional light, but peonies beg to be washed in the softest of light that dances in and out of the frilly petals.”

Kerby Smith – @kerbysmithphoto

Kerby is a freelance photographer capturing images of flowers, critters and landscapes. As you scroll through his account you will see some of the brightest and boldest colors on Instagram. Bees hovering flowers, ladybugs crawling on stems, raindrops falling off petals, it’s a whole macro world for you to explore. This “beescape” as he calls it of a honeybee approaching a plum blossom was taken with his Sony α9 and Sony 90mm f/2.8 Macro G lens.

Olivia Sisson – @liv_mosss

Liv is a Sony photographer exploring the world one fungus at a time! Her account features an awesome inventory of the different fungi she comes across on her travels. Giving her followers a glimpse into worlds both big and small in a way that is approachable, she wants to remind people that you don't have to be an Instagram travel influencer to find beautiful and amazing things – they are often right under your nose. Give her a follow for more up close adventures! This photo below was taken with her Sony α6300 and Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.

Chris Mcloughlin – @chris_p_mcloughlin

Chris is a Sony photographer based in Yorkshire, UK. He posts macro shots of insects, flowers, raindrops and more on his Instagram account. The details and colors he is able to capture in his macro shots give us a glimpse into a smaller world we normally wouldn’t see.
