They flower in May and June and have a mild sweet fragrance and are an important source of nectar for insects. In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, roses are associated with love and beauty.

To create my photographs, I employ a method of 'camera-less' photography in the form of the flatbed scanner attached to my computer. The lighting effect of the scanner means that very little light enhancement post-production is required in my photographs. I have some control over their composition; which I employ in the way I place the plants on the scanner bed, and by digitally cutting and re-placing certain elements of the plant post-production. This way, I am able to create a botanically accurate, yet stylised final image of the plant.

This is a giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag which is a beautiful matte paper that adds a velvety depth to the black background in the photograph.

This is a signed limited edition run of 4 prints.
