Flick through the pages of "Woodland: Through the Eyes of the Insects", the first iteration of the project.This book was created for my final project at Falmouth University. My intrigue and love for exploring the insect’s World is visually recorded here in these experimentally composed images.

Post-Book
A small collection of post-book “blue background” technique and on-site photography. These images were made after the book was finalised and represent the beginning of the project standing by itself, without the catalyst of fulfilling a University brief.

Honing Composition
Continuing to develop the set-up and technique. A spike in changes to camera equipment, lighting, and stage infrastructure lead to a transformation in what photographing fauna under UV light could look like. This brought black bachgrounds to UV insect photography which was previously only poossible with flora.

2.0
Caught up with the current style of Through the Eyes of Insects. The introduction of a stage (where the subject stands) made of UV filter glass allows for a greater amount of compositional freedom. As a result, uniform compostion helps highlight the subtle varience between each subject.
