Microsculptureis a unique photographic study of insects in
mind-blowing magnification that celebrates the wonders of nature
and science. Levon Biss's photographs capture in breathtaking
detail the beauty of the insect world and are printed in
large-scale format to provide an unforgettable viewing experience.
Each picture in Microsculpture is created from approximately 8,000
individual photographs. Segments of the specimen are lit and
photographed separately using microscope lenses, then "stacked" to
maintain sharp focus throughout. These images are then combined to
create a single high-resolution file. From start to finish, each
portrait takes approximately 4 weeks to create. The project has
captured the attention of the world with features in WIRED and New
Scientist. Microsculpture has been exhibited at the Oxford
University Museum of Natural History and the Xposure 2016
International Photography Festival in Sharjah, U.A.E. It has been
viewed by over half a mil lion people so far and will be touring
museums around the world from 2017 onward. The entomology
collection has significant cultural and historical value,
containing the world's oldest pinned insect specimen and many
thousands of insects collected by pioneering Victorian explorers
and biologists such as Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace.
