Starting off as a freelance graphic designer, Seb Janiak quickly took the boundaries off of photography. With technology developing each day, it becomes hard for one to truly understand all that it can do and that is what Seb took on. His work has come profound in many areas. He started to look outward for inspiration including places such as Western Art. With more research came more art.
In his series titled “Mimesis”, Seb creates optical millions for the viewer. At first glance, one might see a flower, but after looking closer one should see wings. He did his own research and chose insects wings that worked cohesively. Color, lines, texture, shape, symmetry, all played key roles in making the photo work.
I was drawn to his photos first because of how unique his pictures are. I love to see artist who push boundaries and he did just that. He used much of the lighting, contrast and color that was made with the insects he had chosen to get the picture overall to have an effect.
These pictures use light and focus in an incredible way.
