Floral Decay

I developed an interest in photographing

decaying and fading flowers from exposure to

2 photography books:

Christopher Beane (2008). Flower.

New York: Artisan

Clive Nichols (2007). The Art of

Flower and Garden Photography.

London: Argentum.

These 2 men are the best floral

photographers in the world.

There is something challenging

about the beauty of dying flowers.

These 2 images strike me as hauntingly

beautiful.

Hope that you enjoy them.

Have a never-stop-seeing-the-

beauty kind of day.

Helen.
