Every wealthy citizen can now get professional photographic equipment and equip a mini-studio in an apartment, and the possibilities of various programs for correcting photographs are so great that the profession of a photographer has ceased to be as mysterious and inaccessible as it used to be. However, here, as in any art form, among the husks one can come across real diamonds that do not require additional cutting.
A young photo artist Igor Siwanowicz, a native of Poland, initially chose the profession of a biochemist for himself, but at some point he decided to drastically change his life, push his scientific works, flasks and test tubes aside, and go to freelance naturalist photographers … Since then, no more, no less - six years have passed.
Igor's photographs are admired far beyond the borders of his homeland today. The photographer is called the author of "macro science fiction", and Igor himself believes that he works in the genre of "glamorous macro", creating such pictures that he always wanted to see in specialized magazines that filled the house of his parents, biologists by education. that the "models" of the photographer are very peculiar. Sivanovich photographs insects and other living creatures, and often not those that are touched by both adults and children, but quite the opposite.
Igor Sivanovich claims that he is attracted by the unusual, sometimes even unearthly "appearance" of those whose photographs are snapped up by large publishing houses both in the CIS and abroad. Something can be seen in our selection, but if you are curious about how the world of insects and other living beings looks through the lens of Igor Sivanovich, welcome to his photographic tape.
