Insects In Camera explores insect perception through experimental photography and filmmaking. The outcome is an immersive video made using an old digital camera which was physically modified to take macro photographs.
The outcome is the result of months of iterative experimentation. With the front element of the lens removed from the Canon IXUS 105, the camera loses its ability to focus to infinity, producing an extremely shallow depth of field and visible distortions such as blur falloff and chromatic aberration. The short focal range required close proximity to the subject, making the act of photographing more involved and less observational.
