Charles Krebs - Micro/Macro Photographer

Micro/Macro photography is the art of discovering and capturing art that's all around us, on a level that most of us don't ever pay attention to. This type of photography often involves special lenses that can focus on a subject only inches away. Focusing rails are sometimes used for focusing onto the subject without shaking the camera. Flash rings are also necessary for extra lighting on the subject. Popular subjects include plants, insects and water. The work of Charles Krebs is often done on a microscopic level.

Nick Veasey - X Ray

The art of Nick Veasey is truly unique. Not many people know of the process that goes into x ray photography. The "studio" was specially built from concrete and lined with lead. Veasey has many x ray machines with varying capabilities. The concrete studio is cleared of people before shooting begins; the machines are operated from the outside. The film is then retrieved and scanned in high resolution. After scanning they go through an editing process where it is digitally cleaned and enhanced. The last image of the plane required more than 500 separate shots for a complete picture.
