Things look different depending on your perspective. Think about something that always seemed so huge when you were a kid. When seeing it later as an adult, you might be surprised at how suddenly small it seems and how you can recognize its form in a different way.
That’s the idea behind photographer Pyanek‘s latest photo series, where everyday objects are given a close-up treatment. And we mean really close up. These macro photographs take everyday items and examine them at super close range. The result is almost unrecognizable.

However good you are at recognizing objects based on their extreme close-ups, Pyanek’s photos show us that there’s always more going on when you take a closer look.
