This is my first shoot really concentrating in on looking at the ideas of the sublime, and the way in which it doesn’t have to just be presented through people but can be shows through the natural forms of nature too. these photos below I have only yet so far edited in a lighting form but have don no further experimentations of the composition itself, which I think would really take these photos further. I do belive many of these images are [powerful in some type of circumstance, weather this by by the stature of the piece itself or however more so based towards the overall lighting and perhaps a bakue effect behind the images themselves. with many of my photos I wanted to concentrate on a specific aspect and point to the images, this being evident through the concentration and focusing on different sections that I belive are most interesting to the piece itself. I wanted to experiment within how my images could be successful in colour and also in black and white. My main aim was to make my images really interesting with a combination of the interest itself of the close up light and colour and also the form in which the shapes and plants make overall.

overall I belive this shoot was successful and a good place to start when experimenting within the ideas of of a powerful sense of pain which to my mind is reflected in the deteriorating death yet still occurrent beauty seen within the flowers themselves. Additional some of the close ups you cannot tell what the original flower was or what i even intend to show you, this power f mystery which is subjected upon the audience is powerful as it allows their own imagination to form the circumstance of how the images came across and to express their own ideologies of what the image personally means to them. The differing textures seen within the plants are all different and connote different tones of expression of emotions. Wether this is beauty, pain or perhaps a sense of freedom, depending on the overall composition fo the piece itself.After this shoot I will definitely go back and further expand this idea of sublime within nature through landscapes and other atmospheres and small details.
