Stunningly beautiful can be not only the art of creation and recreation, but also the art of destruction. Shattering clay figurines, German photographer Martin Klimas creates his photographic masterpieces, where the effect of clay particles flying to the sides is captured. The photographer will take pictures of the shattering figurines at the moment of their transformation, when the whole falls into small pieces.
In order to get high-quality photographs, Martin Klimas needs to control a very complex process of destruction of the figure. The studio must have the right lighting. The background chooses a neutral, but light enough so that the crushed figurines are clearly visible, down to the smallest fragments.
Martin Klimas helps us see the world through a high-speed camera. It reveals to our eyes what we usually do not see - the very moment of the explosion. Figures scattering to pieces are an intermediate stage between whole and destroyed, this is the state where immobility and movement can coexist. To take a high-quality, interesting and unique photo, Martin Klimas can break a huge number of figures until he captures the effect that awaits. He considers himself to be some kind of sculptor who needs only a tiny fraction of a second to create his sculpture.
The German photographer considers Eadweard Muybridge and Harold Edgerton to be his teachers. He says that chance and luck rule his photographs. The resulting photo cannot be corrected, it is a separate frozen moment. The only thing that the author can choose is the photo size and color and.

Underwater photography that doesn't look like underwater photography: a photography project from Adeline Mai
We have written about underwater photography more than once, but the peculiarity of this series of photographs, created by 20-year-old girl-photographer Adeline Mai, is that the water in it does not look like water. Rather, they are people immersed in the ether, who appear before us in an extreme degree of purity and harmlessness
When milk meets coffee. High Speed Photos of Irene Muller
What happens when a talented photographer meets a good camera? A series of great shots, of course.

Stopping time: photography by high-speed pioneer Harold Egerton
Many have seen on the Internet photographs of frozen water droplets, exploding light bulbs, or how a bullet passes through various objects. However, none of this would have happened if not for the experiments of Harold Edgerton. He was born at the beginning of the last century, but his contribution to high-speed photography is enormous. Edgerton's techniques are used by modern photographers, including for shooting advertising photography
