In this series, I’ve explored the interplay of light and shadow to showcase the exquisite beauty of three distinct flowers. Each image is set against a deep, rich green background, creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect that emphasises the flowers’ forms and textures.
This image presents a King Protea in full bloom against a deep green backdrop. The flower’s intricate center is surrounded by layers of pink-tinged petals, resembling a royal crown. Green leaves frame the bloom, adding to its majestic appearance. The lighting accentuates the flower’s complex structure and subtle color variations, from creamy white to rich pink.
Through careful lighting and composition, this series aims to elevate these flowers beyond mere botanical subjects, transforming them into studies of form, color, and the interplay of light and shadow. Each image invites the viewer to appreciate the subtle complexities and inherent beauty of these natural wonders.
