How do you make photos like that?
it is extremely involved and arduous to explain in the time frame i wish to allocate to this thread, however i will provide a quick background.
they are rooted in fractal iterations that are maligned and controlled by my own manipulation of them to express my own ideas.
there are so many variables that will influence a fractal sequence, that there are an infinite number of patterns that can be presented.
to think of the influencing variables and their affect on the resulting pattern is a matter of trial and error at first, but soon one becomes aware of a "trend" with certain variable experimental adjustments, and then you can understand what effect that variable has.
after a while it is possible to make an interesting picture, and after a longer while, you discover how to make multiple transparent layers that can be overlayed and compared with each other, and the differences or exceptions etc can be highlit with some lighting reaction.
when you can compile a multilayer shot, then it is time to write programs that can manipulate the variables continuously with loops that execute functions you write to iterate that part of the shot.
i can not comprehensively provide you with an answer i am afraid.
my powerpack is almost spent.
