Why do you say that you have to see something in macro scale, as of a bigger picture, but you take a macro photo, which is pick of something small?

A macro photo isn’t necessarily of something small. It’s making a big picture (typically life size or greater) of something. It just happens that it’s not practical or necessary to take macro photographs of things that are large, relatively speaking.

If you had a macro lens that was 6 feet in diameter, you could take a macro photo of a whole person.

So when you look at a macro photograph, you are quite literally looking at “the big picture.”

Because you are taking a picture of something small and making it look larger than it actually is.
