Nature 1st place winner

My fascination when photographing flowers is observing the amazing detail within natures design. The closer you get, the more you see. These flower portraits have all been photographed in macro using a focus stacking technique ranging fro 60 - 160 shots at different focal points and then blended to create deep focus from the nearest to farthest points of the subject. This is the only way to create the necessary depth of field when shooting close up with a macro lens.

Tim is an award-winning fine art and advertising photographer who has worked with many global brands throughout his career. He has always been driven by his personal work, which he releases as limited edition fine art prints. In his diverse personal practice, which includes animal photography and abstract floral art, he likes to explore small details that we don’t normally notice, and make heroes of them. Opening up a new way for us to appreciate them magnified at scale as prints. He says: “The closer you get, the more you see. And the more abstract the image becomes. This prompts a uniquely subjective response in the viewer, working at a subliminal level that is more to do with the heart than the head.”
