In short: No – my macro art is not digital manipulation

I work with professional macro photography and various light sources to reveal the natural structures of a gemstone. The color effects, reflections, or unusual plays of light are created exclusively by light, optics, and the stone itself – not by filters or artificial interventions.

Post-processing is limited, if applicable, to:

• slight adjustment of brightness
• fine correction of contrast

I never use:

• color filters
• AI effects
• retouching of structures
• artificial elements
• manipulations of the natural inner world

If a photo was taken, for example, under red light, UV light, or colored scattered light (which sometimes produces extremely fascinating results), then I clearly and transparently state this in the image description.

My macro art shows the truth of nature – just more visible.
No tricks, no illusions, no manipulation of colors!
Only the stone, the light, and the moment.
