Still-life photography allows us to marvel at the astonishing details in nature’s grand design. When you magnify flowers you make heroes of them and appreciate them in a new way. Some of these flowers are less than 20mm wide. When focus-stacked from many shots at different focus points I can achieve full depth of field in a way that is otherwise impossible when using a macro lens. Detail, form, texture and colour are emphasised in an almost hyper-realistic way. I like to think that these elements combine to create different personalities, which is why I call them flower portraits.
