"My favourite show! My favourite show!"

A photo within a photo. I shot a photo of Kermit for the TV screen and Baby Sinclair for the main image. All shot practically (except TV screen which I added in digitally) using real lighting figures and miniature sets.

It’s amazing how much detail is hidden in something as small and ordinary as a coin.

For this series, I captured a collection of eight macro images using my Canon 5DS R paired with the Canon MP-E 65mm. At this scale, coins transform from everyday objects into intricate landscapes of engraved lines, textures, and symbols.

One thing that stood out to me is how often Queen Elizabeth II appears. Across many countries and decades, her portrait has been one of the most widely circulated faces in the world. Not surprising when you consider the historical reach of the United Kingdom. Interestingly, while the Netherlands has a long royal history as well, Dutch monarchs are rarely seen on foreign currency.

Beyond portraits, coins tell stories through symbols. Animals, plants, and national icons appear everywhere—tigers, blossoms, even an opossum. Others feature architecture or tools like compasses, each reflecting something meaningful about a country’s identity.

From a technical perspective, extreme macro reveals the physicality of minting: tiny ridges, micro-scratches, and the depth of engraved metal. What feels smooth to the touch becomes a rugged terrain under magnification.

A small object, carrying history, identity, and craftsmanship—all in the palm of your hand.

Photographs of strangers taken over 15 years ago. I wonder what those children look like today.

Old paper money, seen from a different world.

For this series, I explored an idea using my Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens—diving deep into the details of historical banknotes. A friend kindly brought part of his collection, and this is one of the first results: a Belgian 100 franc note, captured at extreme magnification.

At first glance, you might think you’re looking into the eyes of a lady. But look again—this is actually part of a bearded man. When isolated like this, reality shifts. Scale changes perception.

What fascinated me most are the physical details: the thickness of the ink, the tiny fibers of the paper, and the precision of printing techniques from the early 2000s. These notes were not just currency—they were carefully engineered objects designed to resist forgery through complexity at both visible and microscopic levels.

Captured with my Canon 5DS R and Canon MP-E 65mm.

"Hello Sidney, did you miss me?"

All shot practically using real lighting, figures, miniature sets and cotton wool for fire. I digitally added a real flame to the lighter the rest is all in camera.
