Still life, made in my studio with daylight. These beautiful flowers (Cosmos) were given to me by a gardener friend who grew them herself. My very first floral art, a piece revealing my vision.
I bought the vase from a thrift shop, I am always looking for the most beautiful vintage ones to combine with my floral art.
It a beautiful large blue vase by Flamand.
The background has an olive colour, which makes the whole image less harsh and actually highlights the colour of the vase in contrast with the light flowers against a soft background.
The fragility of these flowers is reflected in the delicate processing on the vase, creating a nice mix of classic and vintage. The processing I applied makes you want to touch, want to feel the photo. It looks quaint and dreamy.
On a matte print in a large format, this photo looks at its best, the delicate flowers and twigs become clearly visible, they are really beautiful.
