At the Baja California Arthropod Museum, we get creative when capturing our six- and eight-legged friends.
Photographing arthropods for research involves a unique set of challenges and considerations. Lighting is crucial to highlight their intricate details without causing reflections or shadows that could distort the image.
Patience is essential, as we must carefully position these dead specimens to capture their anatomical features accurately. Each photograph must be clear and detailed to allow for rigorous scientific analysis.
