title
Crystallization
(Paul Klee)
Unknown situations, normally not visible.
Images of worlds visible to the human eye only through the use of special photographic techniques. Crystal formations are photographed, using an optical microscope, during their generation. Natural phenomena that nature continually creates even if not apparently visible and observed from new perspectives with an eye and a particular sensitivity in the use of double polarization light. Nature, with its mechanisms, often fascinates us with its processes, allowing the photographer, with his sensitivity, to give life to true works of art.
The images were obtained, during a crystallization, using a Leitz Orthoplan microscope with dual polarization illumination.
