Nadia Culph

Photographic artist Nadia Culph, skilfully manipulates and controls light. Her still life images are inspired by nature's curiosities and wonders. Keeping her composition simple, Nadia creates stunning photographs that aim to bring the intricate details of nature to the fore. They are a reminder to stop and smell the roses, to slow down and appreciate the little things. Adopting low-key photography as her technique, Nadia creates drama and mood using natural light to accentuate our beautiful botanicals making them the hero of the piece. Described as 'Chiaroscuro' - the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, she cites Mapplethorpe and Penn as her influences.
​Living in Melbourne's leafy suburbs, Nadia takes inspiration from her local surroundings with a strong focus on Australian native flora. Intrigued by unusual patterns, striking colour and bold contrasts, her clever use of diffused sunlight captures the unique design of her botanical subjects - everything from seasonal flowers and seed pods to tropical leaves and exotic feathers.
With over 15 years experience in fine art photography, including 10 years in photographic printing, Nadia's images have made their way to homes and businesses around the globe.​ Nadia's artwork...
