If in the fall people begin to sneeze en masse, run out with snot and generally feel terrible, then an infection is wandering around the city. And of course, there is nothing good in this (although children may not go to school, and adults may demand all sorts of attention to themselves), because no one wants to get sick. The photographer Bogdan Chesaru does not want this either, but, oddly enough, he is not going to give up on the love of infections either: they are so beautiful! Moreover, it removes not harmful infections at all, but those that surround us every day.
To be completely honest, Bogdan Chesaru photographs the interference of light in a soapy film, in fact, he observes the crossing of waves that surround us all the time, just in an ordinary situation they are not visible, but on the surface of the bubble, thanks to light and soap film, they are very clearly visible. These are various physical forces, descendants of air and even small bacteria caught in the lens (these are small, barely noticeable dots in the pictures).
Bogdan Chesaru explains how his work was created: “A flat soap film was obtained by immersing a metal frame in a soapy solution. The frame was held over a dark surface and studio lighting was directed onto the film. The camera was oriented so that the reflection of light could be seen over the entire surface of the film. This reflection was captured in the presented macro photographs. All images were taken with the camera only, with minor adjustments to contrast and saturation."
Of course, many photographers are engaged in macro photography, we have already written about such masters as Steve Wall, who examines drops, about Demon Mathiel, who removes flowers, and even about our fellow countryman Igor Sivanovich, who seals insects, but you cannot find such detailed macro photography from these authors.
Many fans of macro photography prefer to capture the world around them, while Bogdan Chesaru penetrated to its very origins, to the most natural and everyday, but at the same time completely special and imperceptible. Perhaps that is why the photographer called his project "The Kingdom of Magic", because to see something new in well-known things you need to be a real magician!

Action-drama "Taras Bulba" directed by Vladimir Bortko almost immediately after its release in 2009 literally tore the audience into two polar camps, which in itself testifies to the fact that this work of the talented master was able to really catch the eye.

The work of Michael Parkes, an American artist belonging to the genus of hippies, is usually called an enchanting, magical and unusual world in which a special atmosphere reigns, and mythical animals and other creatures live outside of time and space. And this is not surprising, because Parkes is inspired by the oriental philosophy, which he imbued, traveling across India in search of answers and truths known to him alone
