I love to photograph flowers and have photographed them from the inside out and the outside in, from top to bottom and in-between. There are many features of flowers that are beautiful and interesting, but each individual photograph can only show a single element of the flower.

I therefore set out to create photographs that showed many aspects of the flower in a single image. This meant taking multiple photographs and merging them into a single montage. I then allowed the flower to grow more naturally over the image's matting.

The end result is a floral image that shows many views of the flower's beauty in a single image.  Look closely and you will see the different features.
