I had booked some studio time today to take some macro shots of flowers but due to the snow college was closed. So I improvised – I recently found that the light in my bathroom and was pretty good for some product shots – so I set up in there.
I am inspired by the work of Imogen Cunningham (
www.photoliaison.com/imogen_cunningham/Imogen_Cunningham.htm) and Karl Blossfeldt
www.soulcatcherstudio.com/exhibitions/blossfeldt/ and the approach they took to shape, form and patterns.
I love the abstract effect of these images of I took of a rose which look more like folded cloth:
And whilst these images of a gerbera are slightly overexposed I like the effect that produced:
I played around with some filter effects in Photoshop:
Dry brush
Diffuse glow
Solarise
Conte Crayon
and tried a low key background
I adore the black & white rose close - bought a few prints like that in my time! the gerbera meets andy warhole is a cool look.
