Up Close and Breath-taking

"A collection of breathtaking macro photographs by Vyacheslav Mishchenko from Berdichev, Ukraine.
It is hard to believe, that these are real pictures, they are done very qualitatively and vividly.
They are just beautiful."

"Means of Reproduction" - The Complexity of Life's Beginnings


Photographer Svjetlana Tepavcevic  is crazy about seeds. Ever since she discovered the intricately woven, vein-like structures of a vine seedpod on a trail in Los Angeles, she’s been an avid collector. 

For Tepavcevic, the series of seed photos, called Means of Reproduction, is about seeing the beauty of the mundane and staying aware of life’s origins."

The Delicate Beauty of Mushroom Gills

"From the toadstools of fairytales to the exotic shiitake of Japan, mushrooms have held a place in our imaginations — and on our dinner plates — for centuries. In this series of photographs, however, you'll see a more unfamiliar side of fungi — close-ups of the fragile and tender gills that are usually tucked away beneath the cap."

by Russian Photographer Andrey Pavlov

"The photographs in this picture gallery may look like they been Photoshopped or assembled with dead insects, but the ants in these images are very much alive. Russian photographer Andrey Pavlov spends hours setting up fairytale scenes. He studied ants, and saw that they all follow a very specific path when they’re working. So he put his props on their trail, and photographed the insects interacting with his miniature 'stage sets'."

Dragonfly in the Rain

by Shikhei Goh

"This photo was taken when I was taking photos of other insects, as I normally did during macro photo hunting. I wasn’t actually aware of this dragonfly since I was occupied with other objects. When I was about to take a picture of it, it suddenly rained, but the lighting was just superb. I decided to take the shot regardless of the rain."
