Dark & Moody Still-life

My floral still-life art is inspired by the beauty of death, decay, and darkness. The images are dark and moody, heavily textured, and although they evoke feelings of anxiety they also channel hope and perseverance in the face of the inevitable. I enjoy augmenting my wildlife photoartistry, which is my passion, with still-life photoartistry because it gives a welcome counterpoint. In the studio, there is time to contemplate and consider each shot rather than waiting on the vagaries of temperamental birds then snapping into action so as to not miss the shot - a different type of patience and a different approach to photography is needed.
