Omid Golzar and Shikhei Goh are two photographers who share a passion for a similar subject; extreme close-up macro images of insects and arachnids.

Both photographers have amazing portfolios well worth checking out, but here are a few favorites:

I'm not a big fan of bugs, even up close and iridescent and all that, but the dragonfly looks like a crabby old man. It's adorable.

I prefer Thomas Shahan's photos, mostly because he gives more context, plus some idea of what you're looking at.

I love photographing and filming the smaller life-forms.
