Description

This diptych showcases a study of insects, specifically carpenter bees, through macro photography. The left panel features two carpenter bees positioned on a pale yellow and blue surface. One bee is viewed from above, while the other is captured from the side, revealing a subtle iridescence on its wing. The soft lighting creates a gentle contrast. The right panel features a close-up view of a wing with a dark, blurred background, enhancing the texture and detail of the wing structure. The lighting on this side is more dramatic, with stark shadows adding depth and mystery.
