I came across this photographer whilst I was researching depth of field. Even though I do not share the same passion for creepy crawlies as him, his photographs really caught my eye..and they're strangely mesmerising! 

He uses an very shallow depth of field and gets right up close and personal with the subject to achieve this tremendous close up. I've even included a (slightly amusing) photograph of him at work...











It takes tremendous skill to be able to produce photographs such as these. He pretty much doesn't take photos of anything that isn't a bug so it's a very narrow to one subject type. I found short clip where he just takes you through some of his work and technique...
