Three white peony flowers captured at different stages of unfurling - one, a bud, one partly open, and one in full bloom. The traditional still life lighting echos classic Dutch floral paintings, while the simple color scheme and soft light lend the image a calm and contemplative quality.
Working with my camera and homegrown garden plants, I create image of flowers that are vibrant and joyful, and I hope to capture a little bit of the wild essence of nature.
