Honorable Mention TOKYO-2016 Nature / Flowers

Floreale

With this collection, I wanted to pay homage to Karl Blossfeldt who, using crude equipment in the 1920s, enlarged images of flowers to show their artistic form. Employing modern technology, I layered together dozens of images in focus stacks to achieve a bees-eye view of nature to show the intricate details and forms of flowers in a way many have never seen before. Some of these flowers are the size of your fingernail.
