When Platypod invited me to participate in their food photography challenge, my first thought was, ‘What should I photograph?’ As a macro photographer, I knew this project would take me a bit out of my comfort zone.

In the world of macro photography, there are few subjects as captivating and intricate as the jumping spider.
