Description
When I work in black-and-white macro photography, like to focus on close-up studies of small organisms and the structures they create.
My practice explores how tiny bodies and assemblies produce scale, movement, and meaning. By presenting nests, clusters, and congregations of life, the work reveals patterns of emergence, dependency, and renewal. These images treat natural behavior as both subject and architecture — systems that organize themselves through repetition, contingency, and time.
Influenced by natural-history observation, microscopy, and documentary traditions, I approach each subject with equal measures of curiosity and precision. I am interested in the overlap between scientific viewing and visual composition: how data and aesthetics can coexist without reducing one to the other.
Technically, I like working with macro and micro optics, focus stacking, and controlled lighting to isolate texture and form. I convert imagery to monochrome to emphasize contrast, surface, and spatial ambiguity, and I often photograph specimens in place to preserve their relational context.
These photographs present small-scale systems as sites of surprise and complexity, asking viewers to reconsider the overlooked processes that shape life at the margins.
