About

Atmos Magazine presents MICRO / MACRO, an editorial feature exploring the intersection of biological intricacy and celestial vastness. Through a series of double-page spreads, the project pairs high-magnification photomicrography with deep-sky astrophotography, creating a visual dialogue between the cellular and the cosmic. Photographer Michael Hauptman employs a range of techniques, from sharp, high-contrast monochrome captures of organism structures to grainy, film-inspired celestial imagery. The layout leans into a clean, minimalist editorial grid, balancing dense columns of scientific and philosophical text with open margins and atmospheric compositions.
