Spiders
Spiders are a diverse and often misunderstood subject for my macro photography. I document their intricate webs and their hunting behaviors. I capture their varied forms and their role as predators. I observe their presence in gardens and natural environments. I aim to show their importance in controlling insect populations and their fascinating adaptations. Their complex lives are a testament to nature’s ingenuity.
