Nature nominee

Flora & fauna need closer inspection sometimes to appreciate their textures & closing in on a concentrated area draws focus to isolating a main colour. In this series, the pink centre of an ornamental kale with it's veiny leaves & lacy edges is reminiscent of coral in the sea : then there is the vibrant green of a miniature conifer with it's fine & many pointed leafy fronds : a marigold flower shows a delicate, smooth surface & frilly edges of their orange petals : in contrast, the star shaped purple petals on a hyacinth show they are quite chunky & succulent with a rubbery sheen : onto the velvety yellow petals of a primrose with darker veins threading through. A collection of lovely vibrant rainbow colours from nature.

I am currently an Amateur level Photographer ( also a Make Up Artist & Stylist ) with a focus in Fashion, Beauty & general Portrait work, but also with an interest in outdoor photography. Looking to elevate my status to Professional. I am a member of the photographer's global interactive community website www.viewbug.com - and in the last few years, I've been a Winner, Runner Up or Finalist in 11 of their photo Contests and Challenges and I frequently finish in the top 10% ( the website membership is worldwide, so often there are 10's of thousands of entries ). I've also been a Finalist in 2 of The Make Up Show photo Competitions ( Orlando & Dallas, USA ). In 2019, I was invited by the owner of a small hotel in Turkey to take flower photos to compliment the colour themes in each of the hotel bedrooms, the photos were printed on canvass in various sizes, the largest being 1.4 metres square and are now hanging proudly in 9 hotel rooms. In addition to my website, I have an additional galleries showcasing my more of my work : at www.viewbug.com/member/jvcimages & my outdoor work at www.viewbug.com/member/jvcimagesoutdoors.
