Karl Blossfeldt

Karl Blossfeldt was a German photographer, sculptor and teacher who worked in Berlin. He was one of the representatives of the New Vision in photography. Blossfeldt worked with a camera of his own invention that allowed him to reach a 30x magnification.

He photographed mainly flowers, plants and plant fragments. Under this magnification plants resemble abstract shapes rather than the plant itself. Blossfeldt's photographs can be equally classified as scientific photography and as works of art.
