the cincinnati zoo has this wonderful insectarium featuring all kinds of exotic invertebrates. they were nice enough to have me there to photograph some of their exotic critters for this ongoing series i’m working on using a selective lighting on a macro level. getting bugs to cooperate can be pretty difficult. thanks so much to Randy Morgan for being so accommodating.
i was again given the opportunity to shoot some more moths and butterflies at the detroit zoo thanks so much to Laura Palombi the Associate Curator of Invertebrates there for all of the help. i added the pics to the insect page on this site.
(sorry)
today i went to the detroit zoo and took some close-up shots of some of the butterflies in their butterfly house. it’s the first shoot i’ve done - not for an assignment - in as long as i can remember. i wanted to apply this lighting technique i’ve read about. i plan to go to some pet stores as well and see what other creepy crawlies i can get my mitts on. this is just the first time out. thanks again to the zoo! click here to see more
