Dahlia (The Dark Side of the Sun) Photograph - Limited Edition of 6

I am a London based botanical photo-artist born in Kent, ‘The Garden of England’ in 1989. I have been awarded a gold medal from the Royal Horticultural Society for my botanical photography, the most prestigious award for botanical art in the United Kingdom. To create my photographs, I employ an improvised technique of ‘camera-less’ photography, using the flatbed scanner as a lens. Using a camera-less technique echoes the traditional methods used for the very first botanical photographs taken in the early part of the 19th century, such as the cyanotype photogram. I have always been passionate about conservation and the natural environment, and the botanical world never ceases to amaze me. I donate £25 of each limited edition print sale to charities Plant Life and Butterfly Conservation UK. Both charities work to protect wildlife and the environments which they thrive in. I also take commissions, depending on the availability of the flora requested.
