Obscura

A close-up of the underside of an --- mushroom, captured under ultraviolet light. What appears ordinary in natural light reveals an unexpected world of glowing, blue-green tones.

In normal conditions, the mushroom is plain and brown, blending into the forest floor. But under UV, it transforms into something unfamiliar and mysterious, exposing patterns and colors that are normally invisible to the human eye.

Captured using a Hasselblad system as part of a dedicated project for the luxe brand, this image was created with extreme precision and care. It is also featured in the Hasselblad Masters book, marking it as one of only a few known captures of this phenomenon.

The result is a rare and intimate view of nature’s hidden side, an unknown structure briefly revealed through light, before it disappears back into darkness.
