Macro Photography Is A Window To The Details Of The World That Are Often Hidden Or Invisible To Our Naked Eye. In This Part Of The Shutter, You Will See Detailed Images Of Seeds.

Hidden Beauty Of Seeds In Macro Photos, Levon Biss is a photographer who used macro photography to capture the incredible diversity of plant embryos in his project “The Hidden Beauty of Seeds and Fruits.”

 This British photographer, born in London, works in different genres of photography, including portraits, documentaries, and sports. His passion for nature has led to his award-winning macro photography of the natural world.

After conducting a unique photographic study of insects through an acclaimed project called Microsculpture, Bess turned his attention to botany.

Bess says about his project:

I take macro and photomicroscopic photographs with a significant focus on the natural world. These images of seeds were taken at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, and are held in the garden’s carpology collection. Some of these seeds are new, But some date back 150 years or more.

By turning his macro lens on seeds from around the world, Bess shows how much diversity in these tiny seeds that most people ignore in their daily lives and sometimes pass by carelessly while walking.

This plant-loving photographer explains the purpose of his work as follows:

Macro photography of seeds allows collections usually hidden from view to be displayed educationally and entertainingly. The purpose of my work is to reveal details of nature that are generally not visible to the human eye. In doing so, photography creates a vital link between botanical gardens or museums and the general public.

Macro bass shots often require a lot of time and effort; they result from combining and matching many photos into single images with very high resolution. Bess adds:

Most images are of thousands of individual photos, especially those I created of insects. These photos are made from about ten thousand personal photographs, and it took 3 to 4 weeks to make each one.

More images of seeds and insects can be found on the Lowen Base website.
