Microscope photography.

I decided that I wanted to look more closely at bones under a microscope, to pick up on hidden detail that could be identified and applied to my samples.

I saved some bones from a chicken carcass and inspected them under the microscope and photographed down the lens of the device.

I love these images and think that they reveal a different and unexpected aesthetic to what you would usually assume of bones. I love the ridges and textural surface that cannot be seen by the naked eye. I'm not as keen on the colours however and I feel that I might be more inclined to use the lighter tones that can be found in the photographs. See sketchbook for more images.
