Look Closer: Step Inside The Secret World Of Wildlife – With Vadim Trunov

ADVERTISEMENT

Vadim Trunov is a Russian macro photographer, specialising in close-up shots of insects, creatures and other wildlife.

Reminiscent of a Disney movie, Trunov captures elusive, intimate moments of familiar garden creatures. Is that ant deep in thought? Are these snails love rivals? Wow, what a passionate mollusc kiss. This is a real-life soap opera in the decomposing Autumn leaves.

Trunov’s entertaining, imaginative arrangements animate the creatures. We’re up close and personal with frogs, squirrels and other critters, in a way we would never have thought possible. The camera’s magic lens conjures the world anew.

Below, we’ll take a look at some of his more memorable work, all of it shot near his home region of Voronezh, located 300 miles outside of Moscow. Trunov’s composition, focus and lighting are otherworldly, but many high street digital cameras have macro settings. So have a go, and blow your mind snooping on a snail.
