Strangely captivating photos of thrown sand stopped in midair

Dutch photographer Claire Droppert managed to capture something extraordinary out of a seemingly ordinary action for the series “Sand Creatures.” Using a high-speed camera, the Rotterdam-based visual designer was able to take impressively detailed pictures of chunks of sand suspended in midair.

Bathed in sunlight, mundane beach sand particles morph into peculiar abstract shapes that recall the clouds that one would look at to see forms of animals and objects. Her love for landscapes and open spaces shows through in this highly imaginative series. The rest of the composition is left to chance, gravity and the power of your imagination.
