I had collected snail shells for some time before making this photograph. Their spirals interested me for their natural symmetry and their association with the golden spiral.
I placed a shell on a black blanket, lit it from the side with a work light, and took dozens of photographs using a 90mm macro lens. I chose this frame for the combination of lighting, distance and an aperture of f/13, which brought out the shell’s detail against the black background.
