The Lady of Shallot rose is a fragrant bloom with orange petals, named after one of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poems
Based on the legends of King Arthur, the Lady of Shallot describes an un-named woman who suffers from a mysterious curse. Forbidden to leave the tower in which she lives, the lady is only allowed to see the outside world through a mirror or else suffer an un-named curse which will cause her to die.
One day, the lady sees an image of the Knight Lancelot through her mirror. Falling in love, the lady turns to look at Lancelot and the mirror shatters. The curse is fulfilled.
She leaves the tower and sails away in a boat:
"For ere she reach'd upon the tide,
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shallot."
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 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 6 prints.
$25 of each sale will be donated to conservation charities Plant Life and Butterfly Conservation UK.
