Barry Webb Documents a Marvelous, Macro Array of Colorful Slime Molds

British photographer Barry Webb creates large-format macro photographs of slime molds, revealing their intricate, sculptural forms and vibrant colors. His work transforms organisms typically only a few centimeters tall into atmospheric, large-scale images that showcase a hidden world.

Webb's photography serves both artistic and scientific purposes. His images have won awards, are featured in exhibitions in Germany and the U.K., and are submitted to botanical records, providing researchers with high-resolution documentation of these unique, amoeba-related organisms.
