Finnish photographer Janne Parviainen’s extraordinary light paintings are all created in-camera with no digital manipulation.

Throughout the long exposures, which last from minutes to hours on end, Parvianen moves around the space, tracing surfaces with point-source lights.

The images above are five of ten chosen and currently on offer as prints and canvasses from My Modern Shop.

Illuminated Code From Space is artist Haari Tesla’s tilt-shift experiment with publicly distributed images of galaxies and nebulae – the most vast phenomenon we know of – presented as a series of micro-organisms. Sez she:

Macrocosm and microcosm is an ancient Greek Neo-Platonic schema of seeing the same patterns reproduced in all levels of the cosmos, from the largest scale (macrocosm or universe-level) all the way down to the smallest scale (microcosm or sub-sub-atomic or even metaphysical-level).
