This image is the result of over 80 attempts. Only about 7 turned out usable.
Wind, the razor-thin depth of field, and even the smallest body movements made focusing almost impossible. Focus peaking often proved too imprecise, or more accurately, by the time I pressed the shutter, everything had already shifted. The wind, a breath, the tremble of a hand, every tiny factor affected the shot. I held my body completely still, tensed like a statue, for more than 20 minutes. It felt like endurance sport. On top of that, I was working in a very uncomfortable position just above ground level.
Even though I used flash, many images were ruined by wind movement. This kind of thing is not always under your control. Working in windless conditions is not always possible. The subjects are simply where they are, not where you would like them to be.
Focus stacking is unfortunately not possible in windy conditions, as the subject or the plant moves between exposures.
The ladybugs were only 4 to 5 millimeters long, about the size of a grain of rice. The image reveals details that are completely invisible to the naked eye. I did not even realize there were two ladybugs until reviewing the photo close-up. At first glance, they looked like a dark speck on a green leaf.
This image was captured using the Sony 90mm macro lens at its maximum native magnification. 📏 This is the highest level of optical performance the lens can provide. While it is technically possible to go closer using a diopter or microscope lens, the depth of field becomes so extremely shallow that working at higher magnifications in the wild becomes nearly impossible.
I work only with living creatures in nature, not in a studio and not with preserved insects. The possibilities are limited.
What remains is the attempt to work at the very edge of what is technically possible.

he doesn’t move. the ocean, the breeze, the sailboats — none of it touches him. bent over a glowing screen, with his face in shadow and light behind him, he becomes the emblem of now. he sits like punctuation at the edge of the frame: a full stop at the end of the day, waiting for something that won't return.

Questa doppia esposizione fonde le geometrie astratte con l’immagine eterea di una coppia di gemelle ritratte dalla fotografa slovacca naturalizzata britannica Zuzu Valla. La fotografia delle gemelle, che mi ha donatato Zuzu in un gesto di stima reciproca e scambio artistico, emerge come un ricordo affettuoso.
This double exposure blends abstract geometries with the dreamy image of a pair of twin sisters photographed by Slovak-born, UK-based artist Zuzu Valla. The photo of the twins, which Zuzu gifted me as a gesture of mutual respect and artistic exchange, comes through like a fond memory.
