Photographer's Morbid Curiosity With Flies Leads to Hilariously Horrifying Book
- Watch This Photographer Turn a Shipping Container Into a Working Polaroid
- Why These Galaxy Photos Are Being Compared to Warhol Paintings
Magnus Muhr, like many little boys, probably played with dead insects as a child. The problem is, he grew up and never stopped.
Now, he pairs his incredible artistic and photographic capabilities with his morbid curiosity about death to create hilarious photos of fly models.
He released the first round of fly photos in a book published in England back in 2011, which immediately became one of Harrod's bestsellers in the Christmas season.
It's easy to see why.
But, he continues to create these works of... art.
And social media is blowing them up once again. Muhr claims he has never stopped creating his fly pictures throughout his career.
Despite the fact that Muhr also focuses on much more serious topics in his photography, like fitness and portrait photography, nothing else has ever come as close to viral status as these flies.
Editor's Tip: When having photos printed, one thing that people often miss is examining the type of materials used for the print. For the highest-quality prints, ensure that the printer uses commercial-grade inks resist moisture and fading for a long-lasting, beautiful print. If you choose to have a canvas print made, ensure the printer uses fine art-grade canvas because it's more durable. Get the scoop on the best canvas print companies in this head-to-head comparison.
All of these photos and more are available in, "The Life of Fly," on Amazon for $11 if you need a new coffee table photography book that won't bore your guests.
