Flora Studies: Monochrome
This collection uses experimental photography techniques to create abstract images of tropical plants and flowers. My idea was to create dynamic movement within the still frame. Capturing subtleties, shapes, and form in a beautiful flow like dance. An invitation to the viewer to see something familiar in an entirely new way.
