Jose says:
‘I love photographing spiders and this one was found on a wall close to a barn.

I always search for an unusual environment or unique atmosphere in my work. Sometimes the natural environment or background provides a good opportunity, while at other times I like to isolate the subject and combine a second shot in-camera, as I have done here.

After shooting a first shot of the spider with my macro lens, I took a second shot of some flowers with a manual focus vintage lens, hiding the centre area of the image that I wanted to preserve from the first shot.’
