Subtle Beauties
A photo session dedicated to the subtle beauties of nature, which are not normally appreciated by people.
With stimuli increasingly accentuated by screens, attention to what happens around us tends to be left aside. Even though some people try to reconnect with nature, I feel a lack of perception or true empathy with it. There seems to be no more time to appreciate the small nuances. So, I created this small photo album to demonstrate the small beauties that can be seen even in a small leaf of a plant in the first trace of nature found near you.
1. A small insect (Bucephalogonia xanthophis) on a boldo leaf with small water droplets formed by dew:
2. First bloom of a bunch of Cordyline fruticosa flowers, following the mathematical Fibonacci sequence:
3. A bee in flight approaching a flower on a basil tree to collect pollen:
4. Small mushrooms (Coprinellus disseminatus) propped up on a tree trunk:
5. A cute little beetle on top of a leaf during a drizzle:
6. The first bloom of a flower from a simple lemon tree:
7. Rain droplets on a spider web:
8. A curious cotton bug (Dysdercus cingulatus) watching you from a cotton flower:
9. The blossoming of a flower from a simple papaya tree:
10. A small cricket in the middle of a gerbera (Transvaal daisy) flower:
11. A raindrop hanging from a small bunch of Petiveria alliacea flowers:
12. A butterfly (Ascia monuste) perched on an Emilia fosbergii flower:
13. A small Spartocera bug hidden among the foliage:
14. A cluster of newly bloomed Talinum fruticosum flowers, which only open during sunlight:
15. A small ant carrying a piece of leaf on top of barbed wire:
16. Mushrooms growing between two rotten palmetto trunks:
17. Microporus mushroom and its artistic layers:
18. A small cricket hidden among a forest of clovers:
19. Small newly born palmetto trees:
20. A little bug on top of a basil plant looking at you:
This is a small part of my work as a nature photographer in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest region.
