Photographer Christian Spencer noticed that hummingbirds produced an interesting rainbow effect when the sun struck their wings at a certain angle. He decided to take some pictures and eventually turned them into a series he titled Winged Prism.
Christian Spencer is an Australian artist and photographer who has been living in Rio de Janeiro since 2001.

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.
