Book Pages

In one of the most beautiful projects I’ve seen in a while, artist Pyanek uses macro photography to show everyday things in astonishing detail. This is the first public release of his work (that I could find at least).

Be sure to follow him on Facebook and YouTube. If you enjoy his work, you can also buy him a cup of coffee here. The pictures were taken with a Canon T3i (600D/Kiss X5) with the kit lens reversed, HeliconFocus for focus stacking, Abode Lightroom and Exposure 5 for editing. You can download the pictures at full resolution here.
