This beautiful lady is a Texas Unicorn Mantis. It’s an extreme closeup of her face. Probably at a 3:1 magnification. I shot this last year when she was still alive. Sadly, she went along her natural course and died a few months after her last molt.
People remember me for my bug pictures. I wish someone would hire me to do some actual bug pictures though. I did get a chance to utilize my macro skills when I was hired to shoot macro type of work for St Jude Medical Center. I shot tiny little components that make up the artery clearing catheter device. Fun stuff!
I need to show that I’m more than a bug guy and I will post something else besides my macro work next time. Maybe I’ll post about my last couple of assignments with Land Rover.
Have you read/bought/seen/heard of the book 2008 Photographer’s Market?
It’s got listings of publications and agencies and what exactly they want. I’m SURE you’d find some bug/macro work in there.
I just bought it and am in the process of going through it.
Also - post more.
