Google Design Gives An Inside Look At Carl Kleiner’s Paperscapes (Plus Two New Wallpapers)

If you didn’t already know, photographer Carl Kleiner is the mind behind the enchanting “material” wallpapers that came with Android Lollipop, and with more recent versions of Chrome and the Google app on iOS.

With the release of Marshmallow, Kleiner is back with even more creations and two bonus wallpapers to celebrate the release. But besides all that, Google Design has posted an interesting peek into the process behind the creations, called paperscapes, to its blog.

The new paperscapes go beyond the scope of the original pieces, integrating more complex geometry, greater color and textural contrast, and new materials like colored water and powdered ink to create compelling pieces that – at first glance – don’t look like they could possibly be photographs.
