Botany Portraits

With this project, I wish to investigate the different individual semblance of plant species. Like a human portrait, I believe that plants have their own visual personality which can be portrayed through my unique process of photography. By taking the chosen plant apart, photographing each piece through a variety of photographic techniques and then reassembling them on the computer, I am able to show the plant through a new perspective.

Anne Mason-Hoerter, a Canadian photographer, delves into the intriguing effects of time on our memory. Her unique approach involves capturing images of botanical or food items over a specific time period, resulting in a multitude of individual photos. She then weaves these images together, recreating the subject solely from her memory. Anne's reliance on her recollection to convey the unique essence of the food or botanical item that has stayed with her over time is a fascinating journey into the human mind.
