Often in photography, less is more. And in the case of abstract images, such as this stunning close-up from Chris See Casas, a simplified composition can create drama.<\/p>\n

“I am researching water photography for my thesis and stumbled upon an article teaching how to do creative macro photography,” explains Chris<\/a>. “I had this urge to try it immediately, and all sorts of creative juices flowed from there on.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Describing her thought process, Philippines-based Chris says: “I wanted a photo that would create greater awareness regarding the importance of every water drop in an interesting way \u2013 most of the photos I see of water drops are too formal.<\/p>\n

“This is the main reason I chose to shoot it in macro. I discovered the use of long exposure creatively in the process.”<\/p>\n

In high-magnification images, careful lighting and exposure is of critical importance, since any imbalances are immediately noticeable in the tightly composed frame.<\/p>\n

“I did many trials before landing a good shot like this. Thirdly, time; a lot of it was spent experimenting to get a shot this interesting. Long exposure and macro photography combined requires lots of patience.”<\/p>\n
