Organic: finding beauty in the inevitability of decay

– Flesh meets foliage in this portfolio of muted tones and live materials. My ‘Organic’ series unites the living human form with decaying matter of the plant world. Presented as stunning still-life images, models sleep in giant palm husks, seed pods and rare flora from around the world. The result is a unique series showcasing a new, obscure form which finds itself breathing new life into death. These Organic images are presented ‘as-shot’: the props models have been physically altered and photographed against a simple black background.

« These Organic images are presented ‘as-shot’: »
The background has been to be retouched to be so black ! So not really « as shot ».

Organisch: Schönheit finden in der Unausweichlichkeit des Verfalls

– Flesh trifft auf Foliage in diesem Portfolio aus gedeckten Tönen und Live-Materialien. Meine ‘Organic’-Serie vereint die lebende menschliche Form mit der vergehenden Materie der Pflanzenwelt. Präsentiert als atemberaubende Still-Life-Bilder schlafen die Modelle in riesigen Palmhusks, Saatbeeten und seltener Flora aus der ganzen Welt. Das Ergebnis ist eine einzigartige Serie, die eine neue, dunkle Form zeigt, die sich selbst neues Leben in den Tod atmend findet. Diese organischen Bilder werden ‘as-shot’ präsentiert: Die Props der Models wurden körperlich verändert und vor einem einfachen schwarzen Hintergrund fotografiert.
