  Bronze in Nature/Flowers

Bioluminescent is a larger series I'm doing to bring out the shapes nature creates in flowers. All photos were taken in my garden with a macro lens. Inspired by movies 'Journey to the center of the earth' and 'Avatar', with a new personal technique of post-processing, the flowers have become similar to bioluminescent plants.

I am a naval architect and marine engineer with a passion for gardens and nature. My love for plants and flowers led me into the world of photography, I still continue to take photos of my garden. In addition to capturing nature and landscape scenes, perhaps because I am an engineer, I am also interested in the geometries I find everywhere. In my work, I especially like to experiment by mixing various photographic and artistic techniques or create new ones.
