In flowers and
plants I see life – the beauty of birth, living
and death – the profound essence of creation and
renewal. In the series “Florae”, I make images
not to document, but to create a unique
connection with nature and God, while
celebrating photography and the black and white
print.
There is a rich history of photographers of
plants. One of my first recollections of
photography as art is the botanical imagery of
Imogen Cunningham. Seeing an exhibit of her
photographs years ago began my passion for black
and white photography.
A balance of pictorial representation and
abstraction is what fascinates me about making
images of flowers and other natural subjects,
while at the same time affording the reflection
peace.
