Hi there, thanks for visiting !

I like to make macro photographs of insects & fungi, mostly using a technique called focus stacking.

Images marked as 'studio work' are made with staged insects, usually recovered from research collections (preserved dry or in ethanol).

Images marked as 'field stack' are made outdoors, with living subjects.

It took me some time to gather the necessary gear and skills, so please consider that all images are © André De Kesel.

Please send me a flickr mail if you want to use my images.
