Elegance in Bloom: Discovering the Waterlilies Series

The Waterlilies series, the third part of my Delicates Series, invites you into a world of calm and reflection. This collection captures the serene beauty of water lilies and lotuses, bringing a sense of stillness and grace to each frame. From conservatory gardens across the USA—especially the Garfield Park Conservatory, where many of these images were taken—each photograph reveals the delicate balance between light, water, and bloom.

Working with both film and digital cameras, I strive to capture each water lily in natural light, allowing its colors and contours to emerge in a way that feels timeless. Each image is carefully developed on photo paper and metal, emphasizing the clarity and detail in every petal and ripple. Limited to an edition of 250, each piece in Waterlilies is as unique as the blooms themselves.
