Two Yellow Daffodils on White with green leaves peaking up from the bottom. The background is bright white. This macro photograph I took early in the morning when the sun was shining and illuminating the daffodil from behind. With the help of a reflector, I kicked light back into the shadow areas of the daffodils helping it to balance out the strong sunlight. I place a white background behind the flowers to allow the beauty and delicate nature of the daffodils to shine.
The view of this photograph is at a low ground-level angle. This gives the viewer the feeling that they are looking directly at this daffodils flower at eye level.
The atmosphere of this floral is that of a cool bright Spring morning. It has a sense of peace, tranquility and quiet.
Macro photography allows me to get close and intimate with my subject matter. It shows the beauty easily overlooked due to our busy lifestyles. My artwork gives the viewer a sense of calm, peace, and relaxation. A reprieve from daily stresses.
As a photographer who comes from the days of film, I do minimal post-processing. Much like I did in the traditional darkroom. I want the viewer to feel like they are right there where my photograph was taken. Creating a visual escape.
