Photography with Prof. Daniel Kariko

In his lecture, ECU Professor Daniel Kariko presents an in-depth exploration of his photographic investigations into the microscopic world, focusing on how advanced imaging techniques can reveal intricate natural structures. Utilizing methods such as scanning electron microscopy and digital compositing, Kariko captures detailed portraits of insects and microorganisms with stunning visual fidelity. His work emphasizes the role of color—not merely as aesthetic enhancement, but as a communicative and analytical tool that bridges scientific understanding and visual culture. By manipulating scale and creating portraiture, he encourages viewers to reconsider the boundaries between art, biology, and technology. Kariko discusses the conceptual implications of visualizing the unseen, inviting dialogue on perception, representation, and ecological awareness. His lecture underscores how visual imaging can “color our world” both literally and metaphorically, by making the invisible vibrantly present.
