1st place
gold star award
Luiz Fernando Lopes Calvi
brazil
title
MYCELIUM
I documented all the growth and as soon as they reached maturity and started releasing their spores I decided to start with the photos.
The cultivated and photographed species were Pleurotus Citrinopileatus, Hericium Erinaceus and Pleurotus Djamor.
The cultivation process lasted around 2 months. The species were not cultivated simultaneously due to their fragility.
Colors were added digitally through Photoshop and Lightroom, thus giving a perspective of something new, something unknown.
For these shots i used a Canon T7i, with an 18-55mm lens and a lens extension tube to take macro shots.
I love photography since i was a teenager and digital art inspires me and helps me in dealing with my emotions and thoughts.
My work is influenced by music and nature and since i am a country boy i've been in touch with the wild since i was a kid. I like to mix textures and colors to create something, i believe, unique.
I'm kinda new to photography professionally speaking, just finished my classes. I expose my photos at instagram and never had a really exhibiton of my work.
This is my first ever Photo contest! Hope you enjoy my photos!
Thank you!

entry description
For this series of photographs I decided to cultivate different species of mushrooms.I documented all the growth and as soon as they reached maturity and started releasing their spores I decided to start with the photos.
The cultivated and photographed species were Pleurotus Citrinopileatus, Hericium Erinaceus and Pleurotus Djamor.
The cultivation process lasted around 2 months. The species were not cultivated simultaneously due to their fragility.
