The subject matter of macro photography deals with all the detailing and closeness. You may use a robust tripod for reducing the shakiness along with ease movement.
Generally, in the case of macro photo-shoot, you have to capture the subject head-on instead of shooting from an angle.
It is also a useful feature when shooting macro photos to switch off auto focus and instead use the manual focus.
For getting maximum sharpness, you can use the aperture f/22 or as near to this number, depending on your requirements. You can also use a self-timer or shutter release cable to rid of motion and shakiness conveniently.
