In a world saturated with vibrant hues, I choose to strip away the color to emphasize the raw, tactile beauty of nature. My Blossoming Shadows series features black-and-white photography, which allows me to explore the intricate details of flowers—textures, shapes, shadows, and light—without the distractions of color. This technique creates a more intimate relationship with the subject, capturing the movement, fragility, and strength of each bloom. The works in this series are reminiscent of classical still life paintings, drawing inspiration from photographers such as Imogen Cunningham.
