Photograph of Epitonium scalare shell
This black and white macro photograph captures the extraordinary geometric beauty of an Epitonium scalare shell, revealing nature's intricate spiral architecture in microscopic detail. Shot in a home studio using precise macro techniques, the image transforms this delicate marine specimen into an abstract sculptural form.
The shell's logarithmic spiral unfolds like an origami-like structure, with each precisely folded segment creating a mesmerising pattern that draws the viewer into its central vortex. A stark black background enhances the shell's pure white form, highlighting its complex topography of curves, ridges and subtle textures. The high resolution (8043 × 5361 px) allows the viewer to appreciate every nuanced surface detail.
Using a TAMRON SP 90mm macro lens on a NIKON Z 7, I employed focus stacking techniques to achieve exceptional depth of field. The technical settings - f/16.0 aperture, 1/8s exposure and low ISO 100 - ensure a crisp, detailed rendering that transforms this natural object into a meditative study of form and geometry.
Available as a premium print through FineArtAmerica, this image bridges scientific precision and artistic expression, inviting contemplation of the mathematical perfection found in marine life.
