This wasn’t the artist’s first attempt at capturing these majestic little birds. Back in 2011, Christian released a film titled The Dance of Time where he captured the movement of hummingbirds’ wings. It ended up receiving 10 international awards and three best film honors but the project wasn’t over yet. A few years later, he decided to capture this unique phenomenon with his camera – and the results turned out absolutely stunning.

In an interview with My Modern Met, Christian said he doesn’t use any special techniques or filters when capturing photos of the hummingbirds.

The artist says he never could have dreamt that this was reality and that he receives emails every day from people who were touched by his images.
