A 16-year-old Hungarian boy is the world’s best macro photographer
Change language:
He became the best young bird photographer last year already, and now he won the award for the world’s best macro photographer. Macro photography is extreme close-up photography, usually of small subjects and living organisms like insects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life-size.
According to Szeretlek Magyarorszag, the Close-up Photographer of the Year contest was organised for the second time this year, and Hungarians could win in many categories.

The absolute winner of the contest was the French Galice Hoarau with
a photo taken of an eel larva.

Tamás Koncz-Bisztricz, who is now 16 years old, won the title of Young Close-up Photographer of the Year. This is not the first time he won an international or Hungarian photo contest. In 2020, he won with a photo titled “Little Ball” (Kis gömböc) showing a Sminthuridae.
