A botanical enthusiast all my life, I have always enjoyed flowers.
The incomparable beauty, colour and form of each individual flower is always so intriguing. This passion as a youngster led me to a degree in Botany, followed by a PhD in pharmacognosy and a career in the pharmaceutical industry.
Forward track and now immersed with family life, I take time out each day busying myself in the garden or with photography. The flowers in my botanical portraits are grown in my garden in Malhamdale, North Yorkshire. I have a bespoke studio in an old textile mill in Bradford.
Botanical portrait photography is similar to still life photography, it is a slow process with time to titivate. On the other hand there is also a sense of urgency, as flowers come and go with the seasons and their pure existence is one that is fleeting, and at times I am left thinking ‘next year’.
I hope you enjoy viewing my botanical portraits, for more recent images please look to instagram.
Cards are available from my Etsy shop at Botanical Hue and if you are interested in a print please contact me directly.
If you have a project in mind I am happy to do bespoke botanical art work.
