There are many small worlds that are not visible to the naked eye. One of those worlds is the world of insects that, if you look closely through the macro lens, may seem extremely alien to us. Award-winning photographer Mofeed Abu Shalwa from Saudi Arabia captures this alien world of insects and shows us the undiscovered beauty of these creatures.
Shalwa has traveled around the world and to more than seven forests, including Austrian forests, Amazon forests, and forests in Malaysia just to photograph these creatures. It was not a simple task as he had to study their presence and then search for them. Most of them are threatened with extinction. The photographer uses a focus-stacking technology to get sufficient depth of field and capture the stunning faces of these small creatures.
