Story

As a photographer specialized in flowers you can not ignore the sensual part of their beings. Therefore I decided to explore the sensuality "aspect" as an ogoing theme for my favorite flowers the Tulip, the Papaver, The Calla and the Day Lily.
This project grew from a need to understand my own history of growing from a shy and introverted girl, not recognising her self as a young and talented woman, to maturing in being a woman as well as an flourishing artist. The Tulip is the first one out in this on-going project called Freudian Flowers. This one grows in my own garden. I work in my studio with a handheld camera, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Lensbaby Composer without aperture disk, and with macro filters. I use light and a slight bit of motion to enhance the sensuality of the flower. I do NOT use any post-processing, it`s all in-camera work.
