Giclée print on beautiful matt Hahnemuhle Fine Art Photo Rag paper depicting a vase with mimosa flowers. A painterly photographic still life. The Mimosa's hidden beauty, often concealed behind its lush foliage, has been interpreted as a metaphor for the mystery and wonder of life, reminding us to look beyond surface appearances to find deeper meaning and beauty. The Mimosa is also used as a symbol of resilience and endurance, highlighting the plant's ability to thrive in challenging environments and conditions. In my photographic process, I utilize semi-transparent layers to create a dreamlike and painterly aesthetic when capturing the beauty of the botanical specimen. The diffusion of light through the layers softens and blurs the edges of the subject, evoking the style of traditional paintings. This technique is achieved entirely in-camera, without any post-production manipulation.
