In this series I have tried to investigate and portray, with my
images, the unique semblance of diversity in the various species
of plants found in nature.
Plants do have their own distinct personality.
This may be displayed through a sense of complexity; embracing
colour manifestations; or exhibiting strong visual characteristics.
Often they may be seen as fragile; or providing a sense of
protection due to their size and diminished colour.
There is often a tactile feeling that provides another dimension to
the image. So frequently, we are oblivious to the wonderful sense
of movement that a plant is constantly revealing.
How enchanting it is to feel a close relationship to the many forms
of nature.
My process of disassembling the plant, photographing each piece
separately under different photographic techniques, reassembling
the many images again plus the use of a dark background allows
these divers plants to display their inimitable forms.
Anne Mason-Hoerter is a Canadian photographer who experiments with the combining of multiple image scans and digital images of food and botanics. She was captivated very early on by extreme photographic manipulation techniques as a photographic student at the Ontario College of Art in Canada. Still today, Anne is constantly in search for unconventional ways in which to present both food and Botanical imagery in a modern and original way.
