Have you ever wondered what everyday objects look like from up close? Every item has details that our eyes can’t see. But no worries, technology is here to help us.

The photography/video project “Satisfying Macro. Everyday Objects In Macro” by Macro Universe shows us all the intricate parts that make up an item. The objects’ close-ups are usually unrecognizable. They show the items that we see every day from a completely new perspective.

Do you think you could have guessed what they are if not for the titles? What items would you like to see up-close? If you like this macro photography, click here for some more by a self-taught artist!

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    This would be better without labelling the images at the top, so you could try to guess what things were instead of having unavoidable spoilers.

    These objects look way different than I would expect them to look up close. Especially the orange and pear.

    Not sure why you were downvoted for saying that! People are weird... it's fascinating and I would love to see more natural plants, fruit etc up mega-close.

    Macro is definitely cool. Different things under a microscope are too. I even have a Pinterest board devoted to it! 🤓

    so annoying that they give directly give away the objects in the title! The whole point of this article should be trying to guess yourself first.
