Microsculpture: Portraits of Insects
Levon Biss' photographic study shows insects in mind-blowing magnification.

About the photographer
Levon Biss is a British photographer who was born in London and now lives in Wiltshire. Throughout his career Biss' work has covered a wide range of photographic genres, including portraiture, documentary and sport.
Most recently, Biss' passion for nature and photography have now come together to create Microsculpture, a unique photographic study of insects in mind-blowing magnification that has taken the genre of microscopy to an entirely new level.
Each picture in Microsculpture is created from approximately 8,000 individual photographs, which are "stacked" to maintain sharp focus throughout, then combined into a single high-resolution file.
Biss has done a TED talk and appeared on BBC’s Springwatch to talk about his Microsculpture project. In 2016, Biss was awarded with a Fellowship to the Royal Photographic Society.
