In a nutshell, here is my photographic research for this presentation, "In our garden":
The inspiration for this photographic project comes from the German photographer Karl Blossfeldt (1865 - 1932) who, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, documented specific botanical species for other artists or botanists.
Unlike Karl Blossfeldt, this is not intended to be a botanical study, nor a documentary with Latin names of plants, these are studies of shapes, contrasts and textures of the plants present in our flowerbeds. All the shots were taken in our garden in natural light, in order to give them the most adequate and warm context possible.
In chronological order, four sets of photographs, made between autumn 2023 and spring 2024, each in square format in order to centralize the viewer's eye and also to give them the appearance of a small jewel in a large box.
