Photography by Martin Klimas


Behold the explosive work of German photographer Martin Klimas who has created this series entitled, 'Porcelain Figurines'. These images were captured just  as each of the figures hit the ground after being dropped from a height of 3 meters. Klimas was able to take the photos by setting his camera to respond to the sound of the porcelain hitting the ground - triggering the shutter release.


Martin Klimas - 'The hardest part of my work is to smash so many figurines until I find one that truly is showing me something new. I am in that sense a sculptor, but I have only a 5000th of a second to build my sculpture'
