all focus stacked

Seriously... How is this even possible? These are AMAZING!!! How do you get such cooperation from your models? These are phenomenal!

Seriously though, how do you focus stack in such accuracy so much of the subject with it being an animal? Does it not move? Oh, I know...it's not real is it... It can't be.

Can you come to Portland and do a free seminar? I would totally pay too, if I had any money whatsoever.

Ok, I'll stop. I think you get my point.

Fantastic


A great series, very impressive. I would like to feature one of these images on my blog. Would it be possible to get a short photographer's bio., some info. on the mantis and a 600 pixel image with your name and copyright featured? I would link back to this page or your website.

Wow, beautiful animal, beautiful shots. I am seriously jealous of all the cool mantises you get to shoot. Are these animals you keep?

Beautiful Phil.

You have made what is quite a formidable little creature and one that many would shudder at, look fantastic. You've certainly captured the beauty of the mantis and the white background is perfect.
She is quite the little poser and very photogenic.

I'm convinced you, Brian and Paul Iddon are in cahoots and have a circus of very well trained insects and other small creatures.

Fantastic shots
