I got to a point in my career that I dreamed of getting to,

00:33
and yet, for some reason, I still felt a little bit unfulfilled.

they'd started to feel a little bit ordinary to me.

I was also getting concerned

ืื ื™ ื’ื ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœื“ืื•ื’

about how disposable photography had started to feel in the digital world,

that our curiosity becomes slightly muted or dulled by familiarity.

ื•ื›ื™ื•ืฆืจ ื•ื™ื–ื•ืืœื™, ืื—ื“ ื”ืืชื’ืจื™ื ืขื‘ื•ืจื™

who are still curious about the world.

Sebastian -- he's still curious about the world, and in 2014, in spring,

ืกื‘ืกื˜ื™ืืŸ -- ื”ื•ื ืขื“ื™ื™ืŸ ืกืงืจืŸ ืœื’ื‘ื™ ื”ืขื•ืœื, ื•ื‘-2014, ื‘ืื‘ื™ื‘,

he brought in a ground beetle from the garden.

01:33
There was nothing particularly special about this insect --

ืœื ื”ื™ื” ืžืฉื”ื• ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžื“ื™ ืžื™ื•ื—ื“ ื‘ื—ืจืง ื”ื–ื” --

you know, it was a common species.

ืืชื ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื, ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžื™ืŸ ื ืคื•ืฅ.

But he was still curious,

ืื‘ืœ ื”ื•ื ืขื“ื™ื™ืŸ ื”ื™ื” ืกืงืจืŸ,
01:40
and he brought it up to my office,

ื•ื”ื•ื ื”ืขืœื” ืืช ื”ื—ื™ืคื•ืฉื™ืช ืืœื™ื™ ืœืžืฉืจื“,
01:42
and we decided to look at it under his microscope.

ื•ื”ื—ืœื˜ื ื• ืœื”ืกืชื›ืœ ืขืœ ื–ื” ืžืชื—ืช ืœืžื™ืงืจื•ืกืงื•ืค.

He had a little science kit for Christmas.

ื”ื•ื ืงื™ื‘ืœ ืขืจื›ืช ืžื“ืข ืงื˜ื ื” ืœื—ื’ ื”ืžื•ืœื“.
01:48
And this is what we saw.

ื•ื–ื” ืžื” ืฉืจืื™ื ื•.
ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ื›ืฉืจืื™ืชื™ ืืช ื–ื” ืœืจืืฉื•ื ื”, ื–ื” ื”ื“ื”ื™ื ืื•ืชื™ ืœื’ืžืจื™.
01:51
Now, when I first saw this, it blew me away.
32

01:53
Up here -- this is the back of the ground beetle.
33

ื›ืืŸ ืœืžืขืœื”, ื–ื” ื”ื’ื‘ ืฉืœ ื”ื—ื™ืคื•ืฉื™ืช ื”ืจืฆื ื™ืช.
01:56
When I first saw it, it reminded me of a galaxy.
34

2544
ื›ืฉืจืื™ืชื™ ืืช ื–ื” ืœืจืืฉื•ื ื”, ื–ื” ื”ื–ื›ื™ืจ ืœื™ ื’ืœืงืกื™ื”.
01:58
And all the time, this had just been outside our window.
35

3351
ื•ื›ืœ ื”ื–ืžืŸ ื”ื–ื”, ื–ื” ืคืฉื•ื˜ ื”ื™ื” ืžื—ื•ืฅ ืœื—ืœื•ืŸ ืฉืœื™.
02:02
You know, I was looking for this extraordinary subject,
36
122245
2685
ืืชื ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื, ืื ื™ ื—ื™ืคืฉืชื™ ืืช ื”ื ื•ืฉื ื™ื•ืฆื ื”ื“ื•ืคืŸ ื”ื–ื”,
02:04
and it took Seb's eyes and curiosity to bring it in to me.
37
124954
3503
ื•ื”ื™ื” ืฆืจื™ืš ืืช ื”ืขื™ื ื™ื™ื ื•ื”ืกืงืจื ื•ืช ืฉืœ ืกื‘ ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœ ืœื”ื‘ื™ื ืืช ื–ื” ืืœื™ื™.
02:09
So I decided to photograph it for him, and this is what I produced.
38
129182
3877
ืื– ื”ื—ืœื˜ืชื™ ืœืฆืœื ืืช ื–ื” ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœื•, ื•ื–ื” ืžื” ืฉื™ืฆืจืชื™.
02:13
I basically asked myself two simple questions.
39
133083
2746
ืื ื™ ื‘ืขื™ืงืจื•ืŸ ืฉืืœืชื™ ืืช ืขืฆืžื™ ืฉืชื™ ืฉืืœื•ืช ืคืฉื•ื˜ื•ืช.
02:15
The first one:
40
135853
1166
ื”ืจืืฉื•ื ื”:
ื”ืื ืื ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืงื—ืช ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ื™ื“ืข ื•ื›ื™ืฉื•ืจื™ ืฆื™ืœื•ื ื•ืชืื•ืจื” ืฉืœื™
02:17
Could I take all my knowledge and skill of photographic lighting
41
137043
3818
02:20
and take that onto a subject that's five millimeters long?
42
140885
3130
ื•ืœื™ื™ืฉื ืืช ื–ื” ืขืœ ื ื•ืฉื ืฆื™ืœื•ื ื‘ืื•ืจืš ื—ืžื™ืฉื” ืžื™ืœื™ืžื˜ืจื™ื?
02:24
But also: Could I keep creative control over that lighting
43
144039
3631
ื•ื’ื: ื”ืื ืื ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืฉืžื•ืจ ืขืœ ืฉืœื™ื˜ื” ื™ืฆื™ืจืชื™ืช ื‘ืชืื•ืจื” ื”ื–ื•
02:27
on a subject that size?
44
147694
1716
ืขืœ ื ื•ืฉื ืชืžื•ื ื” ื‘ื’ื•ื“ืœ ื”ื–ื”?
02:29
So I practiced on some other found specimens,
45
149434
3306
ืื– ื”ืชืืžื ืชื™ ืขืœ ืขื•ื“ ืžื™ื ื™ื ืžืฆื•ื™ื™ื,
02:32
and I approached the Oxford University Museum of Natural History
46
152764
3526
ื•ืคื ื™ืชื™ ืœืžื•ื–ื™ืื•ืŸ ืœืชื•ืœื“ื•ืช ื”ื˜ื‘ืข ื‘ืื•ื ื™ื‘ืจืกื™ื˜ืช ืื•ืงืกืคื•ืจื“
02:36
to see if I could have access to their collection,
47
156314
2812
ืœื‘ื“ื•ืง ืื ื™ื›ื•ืœื” ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืœื™ ื’ื™ืฉื” ืœืื•ืกืฃ ืฉืœื”ื,
02:39
to progress the project.
48
159150
1478
ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœ ืœืงื“ื ืืช ื”ืคืจื•ื™ื™ืงื˜.
02:41
And I went up there for a meeting,
49
161268
1798
ื•ื”ืœื›ืชื™ ืœืฉื ืœืคื’ื™ืฉื”,
02:43
and I showed them some of the images that I'd been shooting,
50
163090
2876
ื•ื”ืจืื™ืชื™ ืœื”ื ื—ืœืง ืžื”ืชืžื•ื ื•ืช ืฉืื ื™ ืฆื™ืœืžืชื™,
02:45
and they could see the kind of detail I was able to get.
51
165990
3121
ื•ื”ื ืจืื• ืืช ืจืžืช ื”ืคืจื˜ื™ื ืฉื”ืฆืœื—ืชื™ ืœืงื‘ืœ.
02:49
I don't think they'd ever really seen anything quite like it before,
52
169650
3279
ืื ื™ ืœื ื—ื•ืฉื‘ ืฉื”ื ืื™ ืคืขื ืจืื• ืžืฉื”ื• ื“ื•ืžื” ืœื–ื”,
02:52
and from that point forward, they gave me open access
53
172953
2502
ื•ืžื”ื ืงื•ื“ื” ื”ื–ื• ื”ืœืื”, ื”ื ื ืชื ื• ืœื™ ื’ื™ืฉื” ืžืœืื” ืœื›ืœ ื”ืื•ืกืฃ ืฉืœื”ื
02:55
to their entire collection
54
175479
1314
02:56
and the assistance of Dr. James Hogan, their entomologist.
55
176817
2870
ื•ืืช ื”ืขื–ืจื” ืฉืœ ื“"ืจ ื’'ื™ื™ืžืก ื”ื•ื’ืืŸ, ื”ืื ื˜ื•ืžื•ืœื•ื’ ืฉืœื”ื,
03:01
Now, over the next two-and-a-half years,
56
181953
2054
ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ื‘ืžืฉืš ื”ืฉื ืชื™ื™ื ื•ื—ืฆื™ ื”ื‘ืื•ืช,
03:04
I shot 37 insects from their collection.
57
184031
3044
ืื ื™ ืฆื™ืœืžืชื™ 37 ื—ืจืงื™ื ืžื”ืื•ืกืฃ ืฉืœื”ื.
03:07
And the way I work
58
187718
1708
ื•ื”ื“ืจืš ื‘ื” ืื ื™ ืขื•ื‘ื“ ื”ื™ื ืฉืื ื™ ืœืžืขืฉื” ืžืคืจืง ืืช ื”ื—ืจืง ืœื—ืœืงื™ื ืจื‘ื™ื,
03:09
is that I essentially split the insect up into multiple sections,
59
189450
4084
03:13
and I treat each one of those sections like a small still life.
60
193558
3808
ื•ืื ื™ ืžืชื™ื™ื—ืก ืœื›ืœ ืื—ื“ ืžื”ื—ืœืงื™ื ื”ืืœื• ื›ื—ื™ื™ื ื“ื•ืžืžื™ื ืงื˜ื ื™ื.
03:17
So for example, if I was photographing the eye of the insect,
61
197390
3720
ืื– ืœื“ื•ื’ืžื, ืื ืื ื™ ืฆื™ืœืžืชื™ ืืช ื”ืขื™ืŸ ืฉืœ ื—ืจืง,
03:21
which is normally quite smooth and dome-shaped,
62
201134
2788
ืฉืœืจื•ื‘ ื”ื™ื ื“ื™ ื—ืœืงื” ื•ื‘ืฆื•ืจืช ื›ื™ืคื”,
03:23
then I'd use a light source that is large and soft and diffuse,
63
203946
4379
ืื– ืื ื™ ืืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ืžืงื•ืจ ืื•ืจ ืฉื”ื•ื ื’ื“ื•ืœ ื•ืจืš ื•ืžืชืคื–ืจ,
03:28
so I don't get any harsh hot spots on that surface.
64
208349
3341
ืื– ืื ื™ ืœื ืžืงื‘ืœ ืฉื•ื ื ืงื•ื“ื•ืช ื—ืžื•ืช ืจืฆื™ื ื™ื•ืช ืขืœ ื”ืžืฉื˜ื— ื”ื–ื”.
03:33
But once my attention turns over to a hairy leg,
65
213023
2759
ืื‘ืœ ื‘ืจื’ืข ืฉืชืฉื•ืžืช ื”ืœื‘ ืฉืœื™ ืžื•ืคื ื™ืช ืœืจื’ืœ ืฉืขื™ืจื”,
03:35
that lighting setup will change completely.
66
215806
2573
ื”ืจื›ื‘ ื”ืชืื•ืจื” ื”ื–ื” ื™ืฉืชื ื” ืœื—ืœื•ื˜ื™ืŸ.
03:38
And so I make that one tiny section look as beautiful as I possibly can,
67
218403
3637
ืื– ืื ื™ ื’ื•ืจื ืœื—ืœืง ื”ืงื˜ืŸ ื”ื–ื” ืœื”ื™ืจืื•ืช ื™ืคื” ื›ื›ืœ ืฉืื ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœ,
03:42
and I work my way across the insect
68
222064
1824
ื•ืื ื™ ืขื•ืฉื” ืืช ื“ืจื›ื™ ืœืื•ืจืš ื”ื—ืจืง
03:43
until I have about 20 or 25 different sections.
69
223912
2772
ืขื“ ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื™ 20 ืื• 25 ื—ืœืงื™ื ืฉื•ื ื™ื.
03:48
The issue with photography at high magnification
70
228088
3837
ื”ืขื ื™ื™ืŸ ืขื ืฆื™ืœื•ื ื‘ื”ื’ื“ืœื•ืช ื’ื‘ื•ื”ื•ืช
03:51
is that there is inherently a very shallow depth of field.
71
231949

ื–ื” ืฉื™ืฉ ื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ื‘ืœืชื™ ื ืžื ืข ืฉื“ื” ื“ื™ ืฉื˜ื•ื— ืžื‘ื—ื™ื ืช ืขื•ืžืง.
03:55
So to get around that, what I do is,
