Last weekend, we had a public holiday on Monday for Labour Day and my friend Julie invited me to join her in her studio for a mystery photo shoot. “Bring your camera and a sense of adventure,” she said.
Julie had prepared a series of awesome little workstations for us to photograph. My favourite was a set of flowers, frozen in ice. What a great idea! Julz has a friend who had done something similar, so she was keen for us to try it.
This first series is of a rose, a beautiful peach colour, soft and delicate, caught up in ice. I have a lot more shots to share, but this is my first series, showing the transition from a full block of ice to a thin shard.
I loved photographing these, watching for the moment when this delicate rose was released from the ice. I was fascinated by these flowers, constantly being drawn back to shoot them again and again.

Thank you. I have a few more posts of the same Rose, and then two other plants that she froze. It was a great experiment we could keep coming back to.

That’ s a great idea! I was surprised how well the roses look after the ice melted. I would expect them to be more limpy.

Yes me too! We had another type of rose which I will post in a few days. It did go quite limp with the melting process. But this one was stoic!

I’m wild about this one – what a brilliant concept, beautifully executed. I can hardly believe that the rose stayed so fresh.

Thanks Susan. Me too. I absolutely loved it. There are two other flowers that Julie froze and I’ll post those soon. But a few more posts with this rose to come yet. I loved it!

These photos are exquisite, and both title and concept clever. A post to savour every aspect of: colour, composition, the works. Lovely, lovely, lovely!

I’m fine. Back from the south hemisphere and getting used to the cold temps. It’s spring but not! Guess who is coming to Amsterdam in June? Debbie from Tumbarumba.

This is soooooo cool!!!! (ok, pun intended!) So fun & lovely! My brain is just clicking now, how these can be used as a centrepiece for a dinner table …. you know, instead of the ice sculpture of a swan, or a table arrangement of flowers?
