About Samsa Gwaith Celf Ffotograffiaeth
Mae Samsa yn waith celf ffotograffig o'r gyfres Neglect. Mae'r gyfres yn dangos sbesimenau wedi'u cadw o bryfed, y mae'r rhan fwyaf ohonynt wedi diflannu neu mewn perygl difrifol. Crëwyd y delweddau gyda system camera digidol a lens macro 105mm. Defnyddiwyd swyddogaeth aml-saethiad i greu ffeiliau mawr iawn o 185 megapicsel. Adeiladwyd stiwdio fach ar ben bwrdd fel y gellid tynnu lluniau o'r sbesimenau bregus heb bron ddim trin. Cynhyrchir y printiau mewn dau faint ac mewn argraffiadau cyfyngedig. Y nod yw datgelu harddwch anarferol pryfed a thynnu sylw at ddifodiant pryfed.

Press Kit

Part of the collection NEGLECT, photographed specimens of animals, most of which are extinct or critically endangered.
I want to show a little bit of the sometimes bizarre beauty of the insects, so that the viewer might see them with different eyes.
Because insect extinction is very real and not a made-up story. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Different artworks in two sizes in the end: 80 x 60cm and 120 x 90 cm. All available in strictly limited editions of 10/5 pieces.

- Production Technology
- Digital photography with the Leica SL2 system and a 105mm Macro lens.
The photographer used the "Multishot" function of the Leica System to produce giant 185 megapixel pictures of these little creatures. - Design Challenge
- The hardest part was to invent a small table-top-studio situation to photograph the little very fragile prepared insects. The photographer wanted to touch them as little as possible because the preparations are very fragile.
- Inspiration
- Insect extinction is very real and not a made-up story.
And these little creatures do not have a loud lobby.
The photographer wants to show a little bit of the sometimes bizarre beauty of the insects, so that the viewer might see them with different eyes.
Florian W. Mueller worked before with the Senckenberg Institute on a project about mammals. - Project Duration
- The planning took about half a year, in total it was four days on site to photograph. The post production took another two weeks.
- Operation Flow
- The photographer asked for the permission to photograph these sometimes very rare or extinct insects in the institute in Brandenburg near Berlin in Germany. Then he got to work there with great support.
