Today's photographer spotlight highlights the work of Mike Moats.
Moats is an American professional macro photographer.
His work is featured in various magazines, newsletters, and websites.
His first monograph, Tiny Landscape, was released in 2008.
Moats has given macro/close-up photo workshops in a number of cities all over the country.
I've always had a love for nature and wildlife photography. I thoroughly enjoy shooting nature subjects, especially with a macro lens. That being said, I actually kind of liked that Moats's work extends to subjects beyond nature. While, yes, a large portion of his work is nature-based, he also has quite a bit of work that focuses on what I would consider to be ordinary objects.
Moats also does macro work that abstracts ordinary objects in a way that you don't always immediately recognize what the object is that he is photographing. These images seem to focus on texture and pattern.
I'm fascinated by the amount of detail that can be revealed through macro photography.
