Magnus Muhr is a swedish photographer and healthcare worker. He photographs portraits, children, fine art nudes, and many other things. As a healthcare worker he works with the mentally ill. He started with wildlife photography but gradually moved to studio work. He became well known for his fly art a while back, and that is why I am writing about him today. Muhr takes dead flies and turns them into cartoons. He makes the flies doing average everyday human things. These are a few of my favorite pieces. I find this art silly and creative, that is why I like it. The photos are very nicely done in themselves, but the creativeness of using dead flies and making scenes with them I enjoy.
