Contemplate the Beauty of Nature One Snowflake at a Time.
Photographer Alexey Kljatov developed a technique that captured the microscopic beauty of snowflakes.
From the open balcony of his house, he photographed snowflakes on a glass surface. He illuminated the flakes with a LED flashlight that shone through the glass, and used a dark wool fabric as the background. His methods varied. Sometimes he used natural light.
No two snowflakes are alike. Alexey’s photographs allow us to appreciate the details of a natural wonder we wouldn’t see otherwise.
