About Samsa Umsebenzi Wobugcisa Bokufota

USamsa ngumsebenzi wobugcisa bokufota ovela kuluhlu olubizwa ngokuba yiNeglect. Olu luhlu lubonisa iimbonakalo zezinambuzane ezigcinwe ngononophelo, uninzi lwazo ezinyamalele okanye ezisemngciphekweni omkhulu wokutshabalala. Le mifanekiso yenziwa ngesixhokelelo sekhamera yedijithali kunye nelensi yemacro engama-105mm. Kwasetyenziswa umsebenzi wokufota amaxesha amaninzi (multishot) ukwenza iifayile ezinkulu kakhulu ezingama-185 megapixels. Kwakhiwa istudiyo esincinci esiphezu kwetafile ukuze iimbonakalo ezintofontofo zikwazi ukufotwa phantse ngaphandle kokuphathwa. Imiprinti iveliswa ngobukhulu obubini nakwiimpapasho ezilinganiselweyo. Injongo kukuveza ubuhle obungaqhelekanga bezinambuzane nokutsalela ingqalelo ekutshabalaleni kwezinambuzane.

Unique Properties: “As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.”
Franz Kafka

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.
Tags: photography, macor, insects, bugs, nature, animals, creatures, colors, fine art, artwork
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.
