The snowflakes’ pictures are captured by Kenneth G. Libbrecht using a specially designed snowflake photomicroscope. Kenneth Libbrecht is a professor of physics at Caltech. His recent research has focused on the properties of ice crystals, particularly the structure of snowflakes.

He has published three popular books illustrating the variety of snowflake forms: The Art of the Snowflake: A Photographic Album, Snowflakes, The Little Book of Snowflakes.
