Macrophotography (also macro photography)
From The Glossary of Digital Photography
Another name for closeup photography. Macrophotography refers to photography of small objects, generally using macro lenses, specialized extension tubes, or closeup attachments, because of their capacity to focus more closely. Within macrophotography are special fields such as insect and coin photography. Macrophotography usually refers to the photography of objects more greatly magnified than is possible with a standard lens, so as to fill the frame of the image.
