Are you ready for your close-up? Talented macro photography Pavan Kumar shoots amazing portraits of all creatures small... and small.
The 31-year-old, from Bengaluru, India, has captured the small world of creepy crawlies, ranging from jumping spiders to a Common Rose caterpillar that people have commented looks like the coronavirus.
Pavan explains: “I love how intelligent most of these tiny creatures are, and how often they are ignored or hated by humans. It is a very happy feeling when someone doesn't kill a tiny creature anymore because they know how beautiful they are, up close.
“A few friends of mine and I go out whenever we have time and search for these bugs in small parks or city outskirts and shoot them.
“All images are of creatures which are alive, unless found dead in the field. It takes some practice and a lot of patience to stay with them, observe, understand what alerts them and then approach and shoot - as most bugs are usually skittish.”

Ready for your close-up?
This gallery of beasties is the jaw-dropping work of award-winning macro photographer Mofeed Abu Shalwa.
Amazingly, scientific researcher Mofeed used to be scared stiff of creepy crawlies as a child.
The 35-year-old, from Saudi Arabia, explains: “What drove me to this field is back to a story about my childhood, when I used to suffer from insects phobia, this fear grew stronger as my classmates in school used to bring insects with them, while knowing that I’m fearful of insects, they used to throw them on me as a joke, my fear grew stronger over the years and the experience happened to me few times later on. So, choosing the world of small worlds’ photography was to be able to break the childhood fear that grew in me since childhood from insects and getting close to them. Secondly, to send a message through my photos to see this beauty and tiny details that can only be seen using camera lenses, the other thing is its difficulty, for many nature photographers I met throughout my career have tried it but didn’t succeed.”

Pavan explains: “I love how intelligent most of these tiny creatures are, and how often they are ignored or hated by humans. It is a very happy feeling when someone doesn't kill a tiny creature anymore because they know how beautiful they are, up close.
“A few friends of mine and I go out whenever we have time and search for these bugs in small parks or city outskirts and shoot them.
“All images are of creatures which are alive, unless found dead in the field. It takes some practice and a lot of patience to stay with them, observe, understand what alerts them and then approach and shoot - as most bugs are usually skittish.”
