Silver / 2024 / Nature / Flowers

Bioluminescent

These photos are an excerpt from a larger series I'm doing to bring out the shapes nature creates in flowers. All photos were taken in my garden with a macro lens. Inspired by movies 'Journey to the center of the earth' and 'Avatar', with a post-production the flowers have become similar to bioluminescent plants.

I am a naval architect and marine engineer with a passion for gardens and nature.
My love for plants and flowers led me into the world of photography, I still continue to take photos of my garden.
In addition to capturing nature and landscape scenes, perhaps because I am an engineer, I am also interested in the geometries I find everywhere. In my work, I especially like to experiment by mixing various photographic and artistic techniques or create new ones.
