Revealed

Technically, when shooting Revealed, I tried to keep things as simple as possibIe,  using Northern light in my studio, a lightbox and a couple of reflector boards. The plant holder was an empty wine bottle.

 

I spent a year photographing the project, the subjects came from a florist, my mother's garden and the odd hedgerow. I chose to photograph one stem at a time and looked like the cheapest boyfriend in existence when purchasing from the florist! 

​

Some days the Northern light was better than others and this affects the greyness of the background. I wanted to shoot in black and white to accentuate the form of the plant and create an abstract look 

​

The sense of anticipation of what was available to shoot as I neared the florist was palpable and the knowledge of the staff, invaluable
