Camellia (2018) Fotografia por Daniel Ravel

My motivation for creating this series is a desire to share the beauty of nature. In my artistic work I express this by capturing line, shape, contrast, pattern, and light. I enjoy photographing flowers because they are beautiful all by themselves.


All of the botanical images were made with a Nikon D7200 camera. For images made in the studio the camera was affixed to a tripod, at ISO 100, connected to a 105mm Micro-Nikkor macro lens, and illuminated with a strobe inside of a softbox. Other images in the series, such as the magnolias, were made "en plein air" - subject to the whims of the prevailing wind and ambient light.


My overall artistic influences come from: László Moholy-Nagy, Paul Strand, Edward Weston, Man Ray, Georgia O'Keeffe, Vincent van Gogh, Imogen Cunningham. My inspiration for this flower series comes from painters Vincent van Gogh and Georgia O'Keeffe, as well as photographers Karl Blossfeldt, Dain Tasker, and Imogen Cunningham.


Here I present close-up images of flowers, in color. I hope the viewer will experience peace and happiness when looking at them.
