Vivid, glorious and spectacular: a definitive and beautiful overview that showcases the masterworks of contemporary flower photography by the world’s leading photographers.
Flowers have been a source of inspiration for photographers since the medium’s inception, and immortalized by luminaries such as Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Irving Penn and Julia Margaret Cameron. Today, flower photography has come into full bloom once again, with photographers capturing flowers in imaginative new ways. Featuring 200 works, Flora Photographica links the very best of flower photography from the last 20 years with its antecedents - canonical floral images from the realms of photography, illustration and painting that have marked the collective imagination.
Works by contemporary photographers such as Nobuyoshi Araki, David LaChapelle, Valérie Belin, Viviane Sassen and Martin Schoeller appear across ten thematic chapters, such as ‘Origins’, ‘Arrangements’, ‘Essence’, ‘Persona’ and ‘Reverie’. Each exquisitely curated chapter includes a brief introduction to the theme, and the chapters are interleaved by two in-depth essays penned by Ewing and Panchaud that look at contemporary work in the context of the rich traditions of floral art and photography.
Vibrant, dazzling and abundant with various species of flora, this sumptuous book-object is a glorious celebration of beauty and study of form, and will be a must-have publication for lovers of flowers and photography alike.
