In New Zealand, there�s a species of glowworm called Arachnocampa luminosa � commonly known as the New Zealand glowworm � that can be found in dark, wet caves. Photographer Joseph Michael made these insects the subject of a series of photos titled �Luminosity.�
Michael brought his Nikon D810 into a number of limestone caves found on the North Island of New Zealand and captured long-exposure photographs of the glowworms scattered across the cave surface overhead.
�The 30 million year old formations form a majestic backdrop to the bioluminescence of the glow-worms,� Michael writes.
You can find more of Michael�s work through his website and Facebook page.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
