Author's Description:

Continuing in the Tulips Collection is Tulips in Winter, the next series of work completed for Tulips: A Study of botanical gestures through still photography…

Tulips in Winter, is a small collection of photographs with a very large, almost expansive look at times to the images. I began shooting where I left off with An Ordinary Gesture. I had several very general looking images with subdued lighting to capture before I began watching the tulips shifting their weight around. I followed their movements and captured their timing rather than re-placing the stems where I wanted them. I made several changes with this series from the one prior, choosing multiple stems to work with, using a white backdrop, and for the first time I fully utilized my on camera flash along with both strobes to illuminate the entire area I was working with. Throughout two days of shooting Tulips in Winter, I created several pieces of artwork capturing the strength of these beautiful flowers.
