Macro Photography = Flowers make excellent photographic subjects for a variety of reasons: they are static (on a calm day) colorful, ever changing. Flowers may fall within the parameters of weedy, through luscious, to blowsy. Their centers can provide scope for some curiously erotic imagery via symbolic spikes and folds. The variety of plant life is infinite, from the waxy blooms of the water lily to the delicacy of the fuchsia, from the first bright green unfurling leaves in spring to the crisp russet curls that result when the summer moisture has gone; there is massive scope to use one’s imagination in creating exciting, different images.
Jan Feinberg: I have been taking pictures my whole life, but I just recently got into Macro Photography, and I love it. Especially what I can do with the close up on flowers.
