Chesaru, a photographer from Romania, photographs the colorful swirls that appear on a film of soap. He dips a wire frame into a soap bubble mixture, holds it against a dark surface, and shines a studio light at the soap film. He then takes a macro photograph of the light interference on the soap film. “All images are created completely in the camera with minor contrast and saturation adjustments,” he says. See more on Chesaru’s web site.
