Profotos Staff Evaluation:

Photomacrography takes on a whole new look within the portfolio of Denis Crawford. Within Denis' porftolio are several stunning examples of insects and wildlife, which are viewed on a whole new level through his lenses.

denis' work in photography began with his education at RMIT in Australia, where he received an honours degree in applied science. Since his graduation from RMIT, Denis has: travelled to Antarctica with an archeological team from Australia to document specimens recovered on the expedition; published a book on live entomological specimens, entitled "Backyard Insects"; worked for several major clients in Australia seeking his brilliant scientific images, and much more. Denis' business, Graphic Science, is at the forefront of photomacography of insects in Australia and elsewhere.

while Denis' main goal in photography is to produce scientific images for documentation, he does a great job in creating beautfiul works of art at the same time. The image on this page is a great example of Denis' aesthetic work in photography. This image of the top of the Sorsdal Glacier in Antarctica is beautifully composed. The wide angle lens creates an exaggerated feeling of depth, while the complementary contrast provided by the warm yellows and organges of the sky and cold blue of the snow creates excellent color balance. Finally, the relatively small size of the person in the image creates a great sense of scale and feeling of asymmetrical balance. This image is just one example of many great images which are included in Denis' portfolio.
