The best photographs one can take could be hidden in the grass or walking on a leaf. The expert in macro photography Alexander Mett demonstrates it with intensity. His insect macrophotographs are a shower of shapes and colors, small universes that observe, devour, try to escape or prepare to attack. Terrifying and wonderful.

The images are truly impressive. Mett does everything possible to bring us closer to insects and spiders, always ensuring their integrity. He does not move the subjects from their environment: All shots are outdoors and without causing damage, although he recognizes that there are some occasional tweaks from Photoshop to optimize the final result.  If you want to see more you can find them here visit his profile on Instagram.
