A "floraphile" is a person who loves or is passionate about flowers. The term is a combination of "flora" meaning plants, and "phile" meaning love. It describes someone who finds joy and connection with the natural world through flowers.

Feminine energy is one of the forces behind the creativity and artistic expression of these photographs. Through these abstrat and colourful images, I would like the audience to make a connection between feminine energy, and the natural and intrinsic beauty of flowers.

Malcolm is an architect with a passion for photography. As a student studying architecture he was drawn to the black & white street photography in Paris and New York City from the 30’s-60’s in particular the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sophie Calle, Raymond Depardon, and Robert Doiseau. While studying photography at the Ontario College of Art and Design and the Ryerson School of Image Arts, he became interested in the black and white fashion/portraits/fine art photographs of Richard Avedon, David Bailey, Lillian Bassman, Imogen Cunningham, Peter Lindbergh, & Irvin Penn.
