EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Matthew Ward showcases the exquisite beauty of the Purpura patula, also known as the Wide Mouthed Purpura Shell. The image presents an above view of two shells, each offering a unique perspective on this remarkable creature. The first shell captures our attention with its rough dark grey nobbly surface, resembling a textured masterpiece crafted by nature itself. Its intricate tubercles and rugged exterior tell tales of resilience and survival in the depths of the ocean. Meanwhile, the second shell reveals its hidden treasure - an underside view displaying a glossy shiny interior adorned with delicate shades of pink and cream. This stunning contrast between roughness and elegance is truly mesmerizing. Through this studio shot, we are transported into the enchanting world of molluscs and gastropods. These invertebrates have long fascinated scientists and enthusiasts alike for their incredible diversity and adaptability to marine environments. Matthew Ward's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail of these marine snails' wide-mouthed purpura species from the Muricidae family. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary objects like seashells lie extraordinary wonders waiting to be discovered. This photograph is not just a mere commercial product; it is an artistic representation that celebrates nature's creations in all their glory. Universal Images Group (UIG) has once again captured our imagination through this visual feast for lovers of natural beauty everywhere
