From White to Color: The Evolution of the Flowers Series (Delicates Suite #2)
The Flowers Series (Delicates Suite #2) began as an exploration of purity and subtlety—an attempt to capture the delicate essence of flowers in their most understated form. In the first year of creating this series, I found myself drawn to white flowers, each petal and bloom reflecting simplicity and restraint. White, after all, has a quiet strength; it allows light to shape and sculpt the flower, revealing textures and details often missed in more vibrant scenes.
But as time passed, I felt the pull to introduce color into this suite. With each new season, I sought to add hues that could deepen the dimension of the images, bringing a more 3D effect to the pieces while preserving the delicate feel of the original series. This transition required a balance—not just any color would do. The shades had to complement the softness of each bloom, drawing viewers into an experience that felt both vivid and tender.
Each photograph is created with both film and digital cameras, utilizing natural light to capture the subtle gradients and tones. Finally, they’re developed on photo paper and metal, mediums chosen to amplify the depth and dimension I aim to convey in each piece.
