The way I see it, this Andrey Pavlov man should be several kind of ant whisperer, because he acquires these (perhaps the craziest) pictures of ants you’ll yet observe. And he does it with out using CG or Photoshop. Andrey Pavlov use up hours setting up fairytale scenes. He studied ants, and saw that they all follow a very specific path when they’re working. So he put his props on their trail, and photographed the insects interacting with his miniature ‘stage sets’. He simply sets the scene and then somehow miraculously manages to make the ants do exactly what he wants them to! The last picture shows some money being exchanged between him and his ant model crew, but I seriously doubt it does the trick. Each photo is taken at especially close range by the artist, documenting his insect neighbors near his rural home in their natural environment.
