Atmos Magazine MICRO / MACRO 2025

Description

This macro photograph features a vibrant green praying mantis as the central subject, captured in exquisite detail against a soft, muted grey-blue background. The mantis rests on a polished red translucent surface, its forelegs neatly folded in a characteristic posture. Long delicate antennae extend upward from its triangular head, while complex compound eyes and textured leg spines are sharply defined. Shot by photographer Elizaveta Porodina for the Atmos Magazine project MICRO / MACRO, the composition emphasizes intricate biological textures and a moody, atmospheric color palette.
