In motion
Everything seems to be falling in place for Martin Klimas still life pictures. Taking pictures of clay figurines being dropped and capturing them at just the right moment, every picture becomes a sculpture on its own by showing the transformation of an object that no longer exists. Oh yeah, there’s also a lot of other stuff in motion on his site – check it out.
