Tom Leighton<\/a> (previously<\/a>) is known for highlighting plants\u2019 photosynthesis process by swapping their characteristic greens for otherworldly fluorescent colors. Often focused on the nightlife of specimens found around his Cornwall home, Leighton photographs in a manner that turns common species into extraordinary subjects.<\/p>\n

His newest series, Spines<\/em>, expands on this trajectory. The macro images concentrate on the fine fibers cloaking stems and flowers. Water droplets cling to the surfaces as if the plants had just emerged from a heavy downpour. The glistening botanicals capture the surrounding light, while the thick dew drops add a glimmering, skewed view of the lifeforms that reside underneath.<\/p>\n

Prints of Leighton\u2019s images are available on his website<\/a>. Keep up with his latest projects on Behance<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
