Midnight Blooms

This ongoing series began not in the studio, but outdoors at midday, chasing the hardest, brightest light rather than avoiding it. Where most photographic practice treats harsh midday sun as something to work around, I found myself drawn to exactly that: the sharp shadow patterns it throws across leaves and petals, the way it reveals structure that softer light hides.

That fascination became technical experimentation, and experimentation became process, a body of work built entirely from cyanotype exposures made in direct sunlight. At the centre of each composition sits a single bloom at the peak of its display, caught in the same light that brought it there.

Artist's Perspective

"The process is both analytical and intuitive. I am interested in the tension between detail and abstraction, the moment when a recognisable form begins to shift into something more ambiguous and emotionally charged."
