Danny J. Sanchez is a Los Angeles-based gemologist and photographer specializing in the art of photomicrography. Working out of his studio laboratory, Sanchez’s work explores gemstone interiors, revealing a vast cosmos hiding in the span of mere millimeters. Using a specially designed microscope and lighting setup, Sanchez invites viewers inside infinitesimal expanses that challenge expectations of scale / opacity / space.
Past exhibitions include Los Angeles and Miami, as well as features with Cartier, Smithsonian Magazine, Wired, Vice and New Scientist.
