Distance Close

Distance Close: Extremely close up photography in which the subject of the photography is larger than life size. 

This image is an example of distance close photography. In the image, the camera was close up to the lipstick, which makes the lipstick look larger than it is in real life. This photo was taken in my bedroom on the floor with natural lighting shining through the window.
