The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits: The Botanical Photography of Levon Biss

This magnificent book was gifted to us by a beloved patron of Barratt Riley, who we are also so lucky to call a dear friend and muse.

A highly original collection of high magnification photographs that unlock the hidden beauty of seeds and fruit, from award-winning photographer Levon Biss, the author of Microsculpture.

The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits is a photographic study that celebrates the wonders of nature and science in mind-blowing magnification. Levon Biss’s striking photography captures the breathtaking and beautiful details of the world of carpology, the study of seeds and fruits. Each picture reveals minute features and textures that are normally invisible to the naked eye, providing the audience with an insight into strange and often bizarre adaptations that have evolved over thousands of years.

After spending months searching through the carpological collection at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Biss selected over 100 striking samples to be featured in this book. Captioned with scientific text that provides the backstory for each specimen, The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits is guaranteed to amaze, entertain, and educate.
