September Flower Updates

in

Due to the two fashion shoots I had this month, I had to photograph the flowers a good week before I normally would have. Thankfully Chris at Flowers To Yours was very understanding and allowed me to have a few of his finest a couple of weeks ago. The emphasis this month is more on shape and form rather than straight forward flowers. So slightly different, but still worth a look. Thanks then to Chris and Wendy at Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist for their brilliant help. And a thank you also to Amy for assisting me photograph them.

The Garden Updates

in

While rooting around on some old hard drives I came across so more ancient flower pictures. So I tarted them up and put them on the website. Have a look. I am not sure if there is any more out there, but If I come across them I shall post them up.

August Flower Updates

in

Its the August flower updates time, with a great collection provided by my friends Chris and Wendy at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. So a big warm thanks to them. Look out for the alternative image of a single clematis petal in purple that is a favourite of mine. And talking of purple I have thrown in a couple of extra pictures of Lavender taken around the corner from my house. Just a little extra so to speak. Thanks also to Amy for here help and assistance.

The Garden Updates

in

Here is a mix of flower images I took in situ across the British Isles from my bathroom window to Kew Gardens, to my wifes hanging baskets and So much more. Most of these were taken on old Fuji and Kodak Transparency (Slide) films, long before digital came along and when I was just taken the pictures as and when I had the chance. Some some of the quality is not always 100% (Like the cowslip for example), but they are still worth a look.

July Flower Updates

in

Now last but by no means least I am proud to present this months flowers taken in our home studio with the help of Chris and Wendy and Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist. Amy and I took the pictures last Saturday when it was not so hot outside and the light was perfect. I still managed to sweat like a pig, before having a hair cut and bath to follow. But the end results speak for themselves and unlike the above images, these are fresh off the camera. So a huge thank you to Chris and Wendy at Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist and to Amy.

That is about it for this month. I hope you enjoyed this months blog and be sure to come back next month for more. X

Flower Art: January - June Slideshow

in

It is that time of the year when I do a half yearly slide show of some of the best from the flower art galleries. This is a long one, scraping in at eleven plus minutes, but worth the view.

All the flowers in this slideshow were kindly provided by my friends Chris at Flowers To Yours and Wendy from Brambles Florist. I could not have done it without them.

My Fathers Garden

in

On our visit to my parents home we had the added bonus of photographing my Father’s beloved garden on the one day that did not rain. Here are the results. I have decided to give them their own folder in the ‘Flower Art’ section of this website, the folder is titled ‘The Garden.’. So its open now to do more at a later date, or photograph other peoples garden. Thank you as always to Amy for her help and to Mum and Dad. X

See you all next month.

May Flower Updates and a few extras

in

As the year draws closer to Summer, the flowers getting more lovely with each month. This month being no exception to that rule. Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours have provided me with a great choice to shoot, my only problem was that when I got half way through I realised I had not changed what is called the 'Aspect Ratio' on the images. By which time it was too late so this month every image is the same size. Still thanks to Chris at Flowers To Yours and Wendy and Nina at Brambles Florist for the lovely choice. Thank you also to Amy for her help and input.
