entry description
Strand of hair tied in a knot. From my 10-year old daughter.about the photographer
I am a scientist by heart and education with a passion for photography of hidden worlds. As a hobby I am using a microscope and a camera to reveal a hidden world that few people get to experience. I use a number of lightning and contrast techniques in various combinations to capture the subjects under the microscope. Every drop of water is a new adventure into microcosmos and the camera is always ready to capture the magic the water drop reveals. I gladly share my work with others and my images has featured in magazines as well as being used in university courses for educational purposes.back to gallery
