Black Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio polyxenes) Wing macro photograph. The black swallowtail butterfly is a New Jersey USA native butterfly. We plant extra herbs to attract pollinators to our garden. Without fail we will find caterpillars on our herbs. We place many in butterfly territories to protect the from predators. Once the butterflies emerge from their chrysalis we release them on our butterfly bush. My reward is a beautiful full-frame macro photograph of this beautiful butterfly.
The view of this photograph is quite intimate much like a person using a magnifying glass to allow one to see every detail of this butterflies wings. It exposes the tiniest detail and texture of its wing.
Macro photography allows me to get close and intimate with my subject matter. It shows the beauty easily overlooked due to our busy lifestyles. My artwork gives the viewer a sense of calm, peace, and relaxation. A reprieve from daily stresses.
As a photographer who comes from the days of film, I do minimal post-processing. Much like I did in the traditional darkroom. I want the viewer to feel like they are right there where my photograph was taken. Creating a visual escape.
