It’s true: every single snowflake is unique—and nothing shows this better than photographer Alexey Kljatov’s macro snowflake photography.

Born in Moscow, 46-year-old Alexey still lives in the city. On a winter night in 2008, when the snow started to fall, he went out onto the balcony of his ninth-floor apartment and stood poised with his camera. Later that night, transferring the images onto a high-resolution screen, Alexey saw the results of his macrophotography experiment and was astounded.
