Top 5 Amazing Macro-Photographers that inspired me to take my big camera into the forest everyday

Hi, my name is Mika, and I’ve been a photographer for 20 years. I always thought I was quite good but when I saw these images, I decided to join 5F Mastermind. The experience so far has been amazing and my daily task is to create at least 3 new images in the macro niche. I like macro because it helps me to see the world from a new perspective. Our group is super awesome, and we share great tips on setup, production, and making money. Before joining the My5Friends Mastermind I didn’t even know that making some extra money from my passion would be so easy. Thanks to my group, I made the membership fee back in just 72 hours. I highly recommend it!
