Finding Insect Photography Prints For Sale Online

By Lucia Weeks


Photographers take pictures. Everyone knows this. However, it's like saying painters slap paint onto canvas or paper. A great painter creates a work of significant impact and lasting value. This is equally true of a great photographer. To get an idea of how creative photography can be, search insect photography prints for sale in the Harrisonburg VA area.

Insects are fascinating. They come in an infinite variety of shapes, colors, and habitats; in fact, new varieties are being discovered all the time in remote areas of the globe. Some are beloved, like butterflies, ladybugs, and bees. Others are less familiar, making their image even more striking when properly presented in an art photo.

Pictures straight from nature lend themselves to art photography with no alteration. A spider web pearled with dew and lit by the rising sun or a butterfly on a brilliant flower are beautiful moments that lose none of their appeal when caught on film. A beautiful creature like a Luna Moth, with its unique shape and delicate colors, is dramatic enough to make a statement in any room.

A gallery of art prints will quickly show that a tropical beetle with a carapace striped in red, yellow, and black may be unfamiliar but aesthetically pleasing. Although known to all, the pesky mosquito photographed against a white background is a symphony of graceful body, gossamer wings, and astonishingly long, delicate legs. A bee silhouetted against the light, drinking nectar from a flower through its slender proboscis, is an amazing sight.

Differing habitats lend beauty and drama to the picture. Plants are as varied in color, shape, and texture as the insects that live on them. The shape of the leaf or stem that a bug is resting on adds additional detail and dimension to the whole. If the photo captures raindrops or the play of sunlight and shadow, so much the better.

Digital cameras and developing processes have broadened the range of effects an art photographer can achieve. New paper and ink means that the photographs don't fade. In the online photo galleries, there are realistic photos, although the close-up detail of leaf or bark might fool the eye at first, and manipulated images that resemble silk screens or impressionist paintings.

Pictures used to decorate a home should evoke an emotional response from the viewer - and that is just what a great photograph does. Many people experience a sense of wonder when confronted with the intricacies of the natural world. The beauty and infinite variety of living things is something to celebrate, but it's fleeting. Immortalizing it on film is a great way to capture a moment in time and preserve it.

Prints of this nature are affordable, starting at about five dollars. They can also be an investment when limited edition artwork is chosen. Go online to see the impact such artwork can have.
