unlock the hidden beauty of seeds and fruit, from the author of Microsculpture
The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits is
a photographic study that celebrates the wonders of nature and science
in mind-blowing magnification. Levon Biss’ striking photography captures
the breathtaking and beautiful details of the world of carpology, the
study of seeds and fruits. Each picture reveals minute features and
textures that are normally invisible to the naked eye, providing the
audience with an insight into strange and often bizarre adaptations that
have evolved over thousands of years. After spending months searching
through the carpological collection at the Royal Botanic Garden
Edinburgh, Biss selected over a hundred striking samples to be featured
in this book. Captioned with scientific text that provides the backstory
for each specimen, The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits is guaranteed to amaze, entertain, and educate.
Levon Biss is an award-winning British photographer widely regarded as the leading macro photographer of his generation. His photography has been exhibited around the world and his prints are housed in numerous private and public collections. Biss' work concentrates on the natural world, combining art and science to produce images that are both beautiful and educational. His photographs reveal hidden worlds, providing the viewer with access to precious historical museum collections normally locked from view. Using his bespoke camera system Biss creates his photographs by combining thousands of images to produce highly detailed images rich in detail, a process that is highly time-consuming and but hugely rewarding.

Biss continues to work from his studio in the English countryside.
