The intricate detail of nature examined in this delicate study of a sycamore leaf.

Photographed on a light-box, and then reversed out in the printing process, the translucent and skeletal quality of the leaf comes alive against the black background.

This technique is reminiscent of early photographic experiments, where pioneers such as Fox Talbot, created camera-less images by placing leaves and botanical ephemera in contact with light sensitive paper.
