A cluster of tulips, captured in close focus, becomes more than just flowers.
Their deep red petals and glowing centers suggest something elemental—like fire or light caught in bloom.
I photograph with the feeling of painting with a camera,
finding abstraction in detail and emotion in color.
With a shift in perspective, nature becomes a visual metaphor.
