Alison Pollack and Barry Webb are two different photographers. While they do not work together, they share a fascination with fungi and macro photography. We understand that fungi and slime molds do not sound too appealing, but once you look at photos of them, you can understand why the two photographers consider them so mesmerizing. So strange to think that such a marvelous thing grows and feeds off another organism, isn't it? What makes their works even more unique is that, without the camera's magnifying lens, these fungi are extremely hard to detect. It's an eye-straining hunt after the next slimy model.
Webb's works have won him first place in the Close-Up Photographer Of The Year contest. You can see more of his works on his website.
Alison Pollack goes even deeper. Her lens magnifies her subjects by up to 20 times their original size. This allows us to see even the tiniest of tiny details- even individual spores! You can see more of her works on her Facebook or Instagram accounts.
