    Mums, Gerberas and Baby’s Breath

    A life update is required, it’s been so long and so much has happened, but today instead I want to share with you some macro magic with flowers because I’ve missed doing this so much. I put together this bouquet for the new years holidays, it’s pink and pretty and I wanted some flowers to…

    The Flower Edit

    A quick note before the real post starts: It’s 7pm on Friday night. I’ve been away all week for work, arrived home very very late last night and have spent the day catching up on so much work missed during the week. I’ve really missed the blogging world and all of you guys, so I…

    Deconstructed Flower – 6

    Julie and I have been at it again. This time, she came to my place and we filled my apartment with photography experiments. One of the many things she brought with her was this purple rose! It had been dyed purple. It seemed perfect for a deconstruction 🙂 And then the deconstruction. The petals were…

    Thank goodness for Julz or I might never get any photography done these days! This is another series from an afternoon in her studio. We were immersed in darkness, with nothing but Julie’s coveted light wand and the faint glow from our camera screens to show us the way. What fun we had! Here is…

    Still Life – Fruit Salad

    Again, a session with Julz in her studio. Our first experiment for the day was capturing this fruit in natural light. I love the colours. Pop over to Julie’s blog to see how we set up this shoot. But I had to try it in black and white – a nice creamy tone, which I…

    This time, the victim is this gorgeous Pom Pom Carnation – how adorable is this flower? So cheerful. So undeserving. After the blade: It’s even pretty in black and white: And some final close ups: x desleyjane

    A Ranunculus Study

    Julie and I spent a long, exhausting and utterly brilliant day in her studio playing with all sorts of wonderful photography-related thingies. These Ranunculus flowers were going to be deconstructed. Actually we did chop one up but it wasn’t pleasant, so instead here are some macro shots of these gorgeous and intricate flowers. We had…
